Today is the birthday of the following people:
John Milton (1608 –
1674):
“For books are not
absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as
active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a
vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred
them.”
and
“Solitude sometimes
is best society.”
and
“Thou canst not touch
the freedom of my mind.”
Dalton Trumbo (1905 –
1976):
“If I were dead and
buried
And I heard your
voice,
Beneath the sod
My heart of dust
Would still rejoice.”
Joshua Bell (1967 - ):
“I was lucky enough
to have parents who started me on music very early, but most kids don't get
that kind of exposure.”
Tip O’Neill (1912 –
1994):
“A good lesson in
keeping your perspective is: Take your job seriously but don’t take yourself
seriously.”
Kirk Douglas (1916 -
):
“The learning process
continues until the day you die.”
