Several email newsletters I receive include a Quote of the Day. Some are funny, some profound, and some just wrong, IMHO. In this blog I will express my opinions when one strikes me as particularly obnoxious, or perhaps especially good.

Helen Keller
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." -- Helen Keller
The wisdom of the ages! Would that we could convince the young of this truth! I suppose the most we can do is warn them of this reality and offer it as an encouragement. As Keller says here, only experience can really teach this kind of lesson.
