How poor are those that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
My words fly up; my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to Heaven go.
Sweet are the uses of adversity, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
As, I confess, it is my nature's plague To spy into abuses, and oft my jealousy Shapes faults that are not.
‘O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.
He (Cassius from Julius Caesar) thinks to much; such men are dangerous.

It's William Shakespeare's birthday today, so it seemed appropriate to start out with some nuggets of Shakespearean wisdom.
I look at the top quote and immediately think of myself. Patience has never been my virtue, but I'm learning---even if ever so slowly.
How many of the above mean something to you? Which are most timely in today's world?
Ahh! Shakespeare. He says it so well. Happy Birthday, William.
Rick Gehring will be proud, and so am I.
I'm pretty sure that Rick, a winner of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, was Nicole Rynearson Anderson's math teacher, while I taught her as an English student.
Besides being good and passionate at math, Nicole also loved literature.
Overall, I remember her as positive and fully engaged in learning.
So, it was neat to see her photo on the front page of this morning's paper.
Congratulations, Nicole.

Here's some other neat news this morning. It's about my sister Barbara.
BTW: I'm pretty sure that Barbara also taught Nicole (story above) also.
Anyway, besides her highly successful teaching career, Barbara's love of horses and horse activities is central to her life.
And, as a lifelong educator, she has taught many an aspiring horse lover pretty much anything they want to know about horses and she'll keep on doing that every day.
Congratulations, Barbara. We family members are proud of you.
