Well, Katina, that's a quote that bears repeating! Happy New Year, and let it be better than the one just that's just passed! Too funny, Moonglum! Stepper, I'm embarrassed to admit I did not get that until hours after I read it, when it suddenly came to me out of the blue, while I was shoveling snow. Speaking of comics....It was the most gorgeous kind of winter morning here, with every tree branch lined in snow, and a fresh blanket of it on the ground. It was this kind of morning: " 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!
'A new year...a fresh clean start!'
'It's like having a big, white piece of paper to draw on!'
'A day full of possibilities! It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy. Let's go exploring!'" ~ from the last strip of the comic "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson, 25 years ago. Dang, 25 years ago! Oh, how I loved Calvin and Hobbes! Here's the last strip in its entirety and a nice article about the little boy, his tiger, and their creator: www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2020/12/31/calvin-hobbes-bill-watterson/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Roosevelt once said “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I don't know if these quotes by Ernest Hemmingway have been posted on here already, but:-
“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
“Courage is grace under pressure.”

I once read somewhere that Origami is a very stressful art-form....the people who do it frequently fold under pressure.

"I know of no single formula for success, but over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal, and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration, to work together." ~ Queen Elizabeth II (April 1926-September 2022)
