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

Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870):

“Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.”

and

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”

and

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.”

and

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867 – 1957):

“The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.”

and

“Home is the nicest word there is.”

and

“There's no great loss without some small gain.”

Sinclair Lewis (1885 – 1951):

“It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write.”

and

“There are two insults which no human being will endure: The assertion that he hasn't a sense of humor, and the doubly impertinent assertion that he has never known trouble.”

Eddie Izzard (1962 - ):

“We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. 'I claim India for Britain!' They're going, 'You can't claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!' 'Do you have a flag …?' 'No...' 'Well, if you don't have a flag, then you can't have a country. Those are the rules... that I just made up!' ”

Ashton Kutcher (1978 - ):

“Opportunities look a lot like hard work.”

and

“I’ve never had a job in my life that I was better than.  I was always lucky to have a job. And every job that I had was a stepping stone to my next job.”
