Quotable Quotes: April 26
by Miki Saxon
Tuesday is April 26th, but more importantly it’s my birthday. There are some pretty cool people born on the 26th and I chose a few to share.
Marcus Aurelius was a big believer in MAP, “Our life is what our thoughts make it.”
William Shakespeare provides a great description of my two best friends, I hope you have people like this in your life, “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
Bernard Malamud had great insight into how one learns, “Stay with it. . . ultimately you teach yourself something very important about yourself.”
Carol Burnett’s thoughts about life really refer to MAP, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”
I was surprised to find that John Audubon and I have more in common than our birthday—we see our lives similarly, but I’m tempted to substitute ‘weird’ for ‘curious’, “I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine.”
Finally, since I was generous enough to share my birthday with Marc Andreessen, I wish he would reciprocate by sharing some contacts with me. (Sorry, couldn’t’ find a good quote.)
