Quote for the Day

I read this on another blog this morning and enjoyed it.  It seemed like a good way to start a rather dreary and chilly day.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment:  that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours…  In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.  If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: that is where they should be.  Now put the foundations under them.

Thoreau
