Today's Words of Wisdom - August 16, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:

Charles Bukowski (1920 – 1994):

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”

and

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way.”

and

“What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”

T.E. Lawrence (1888 – 1935):

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”

and

“I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands/and wrote my will across the sky in stars”

Madonna (1958 – ):

“No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.”

and

“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.”

Steve Carell (1962 - ):
"Nothing to me feels as good as laughing incredibly hard."
