Today Jill was away at a wedding, so I had the entire day to myself. I taught a lesson, played some cards with the student after that, then set up my mic and practiced some tunes for an upcoming wedding. I also played Warcraft a lot, fixed some code on our site, and read a little. Now, I’m reading quotations. I came upon a quote that justifies this:
“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.” -Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)
I’ve been adding some of them to my quote file when they apply to me in a particular way. I add more when I come across them – it’s about two years’ worth of collecting. You can see the file here.
