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



L. Frank Baum (1856 – 1919):
“I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.”

and
“A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.”

and
“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?”




Katherine Anne Porter (1890 – 1980):
“The past is never where you think you left it.”

and
“Love must be learned and learned again; There is no end.”




Mikhail Bulgakov (1891 – 1940):
“Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that.”

and
“You should never ask anyone for anything. Never- and especially from those who are more powerful than yourself.”




Peter Shaffer (1926 - ):
“The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.”




Ralph Steadman (1936 - ):
“I am an artist, I trade in uncertainty and superstition and cant. I invent dark visions of impossible situations that can never be resolved.”




Madeleine Albright (1937 - ):
“What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.”

and
“The main thing is to remain oneself, under any circumstances; that was and is our common purpose.”




Brian Eno (1948 - ):
“The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.”

and
“Honor your mistake as a hidden intention.”




Laura Hillenbrand (1967 - ):
“His books were the closest thing he had to furniture and he lived in them the way other men live in easy chairs.”




Martin Rossiter (1970 - ):
“Believe me
It's time to tell my friends I love them
They deserve more

Than hasty delivered words of kindness”
