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

August Derleth (1909 – 1971):

“Children accept many things adults will not accept, since the world of a child is a constant revelation without any need for knowledge of cause and effect.”

Steve Jobs (1955 – 2011):

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

and

“Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”

and

“If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.”

and

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

and

"Here’s to the crazy ones — the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Mitch Hedberg (1968 – 2005):

“I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.”

and

“I want to hang a map of the world in my house, and then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve traveled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map, so it won’t fall down.”

and

“I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, "Dude, you have to wait."
