A Quiet Lesson
I love my book of quotes.
Thomas Fuller is credited with saying, “If you have many Irons in the Fire, some will burn.”
Thomas Jefferson once said, “Opinion is power.”
Herbert Spencer sums it up best, “Opinion is ultimately determined by the feelings, and not by the intellect.”
Maybe it’s a sign of the times. We make great achievements based on scientific research and careful analysis. Yet the opinions of a few, with their heartfelt, impatient, fact-less judgments, always seem to dismantle the strongest foundations and circumvent the obvious. These people inspire the creators of Dilbert, Office Space, The Office, Seinfeld, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report as well as the chambers of gossip.
At the end of the day, any garden needs sunlight and water to grow.
