Quote of the Week – Rising

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I’m speeding because I have to get there,

before I forget where I’m going.

There is something good in all weathers.

If it doesn’t happen to be good for my work today,

it’s good for some other man’s today,

and will come around for me tomorrow.

(Charles Dickens)

If you love something, set it free.

If it returns, you have not lost it.

If it disappears and never comes back, then it was never yours to begin with.

And if it just sits there watching television, unaware that it has been set free –

then you probably married it.
