Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...

Jeannette Rankin (1880 – 1973):

and

“You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go.”

Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910 – 1997):

“When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself”

William Styron (1925 – 2006):

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”

Hugh Laurie (1959 - ):

“It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
