A Way With Words
It's quote time again, those statements that make you think and smile. I've included some here for you to muse over. In between are some of my favorite fawn pictures through the years.
"Books and dogs make good companions." Penny Abbott
"Courage, my heart! Go on little by little, for many littles will make a great whole." Charles Spurgeon

"Nothing to do ... nothing to do ... what a happy thought!" Winnie the Pooh
"That flower which follows the sun, doth so even in cloudy days ..." Robert Leighton
"A healthy perspective on household chores includes determining your maximum acceptable dirt level." Unknown
"Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing." Robert Benchley
"Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experiences." J. Vernon McGee
"Stones and trees speak slowly and may take a week to get out a single sentence, and there are few men, unfortunately, with the patience to wait for an oak to finish a thought." Garrison Keillor
