those who walk on the well-trodden path

who are showing a new road.”

Thought for the Day

“The reward for conformity was
that everyone liked you
except yourself.”

~ Rita Mae Brown

“Whenever you find yourself
on the side of the majority,
it is time to pause and reflect.”

~ Mark Twain

“Read, every day,
something no one else is reading.
Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking.
Do, every day,
something no one else would be silly enough to do.
It is bad for the mind
to continually be part of unanimity.”

~ Christopher Morley

Thought for the Day

Nature made us individuals,
as she did the flowers
and the pebbles;
but we are afraid to be peculiar,
and so our society resembles
a bag of marbles,
or a string of mold candles.
Why should we all dress
after the same fashion?
The frost never paints
my windows twice alike.

~ Lydia Maria Child ~
