Words and Quotes

I have always loved words and quotes. For several years I have been collecting quotes and famous sayings--so far my collection is getting close to one hundred. I keep all my quotes in my Moleskin. Growing up, I can remember reading the dictionary one page at a time and loved learning the origin of words. I also love finding words with in a word. I catch myself doing this all the time--I know it's crazy, but.... It's sad to know one day the dictionary will be something of the pass.

I am guilty like so many people and use Google to look a word up, but I am catching myself reaching for a dictionary more and more.

I read a great blog Chez Spud and came across a post that has left me thinking. Spud wrote on the Holstee Manifesto and I must say we all can learn from this.

Holstee Manifesto

What are some of your favorite quotes or thoughts?

Hope everyone will have the week end of your choice!

my all time favourite quote is "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

I think this is relevant today, as we see poorer nations overrun by their corrupt governments and do nothing to protect the people who suffer most because of this.
