Sunny Greetings from California, Peter!

Thank you for your visit and your thoughtful comment.

I just love this poem. Like you said, there is a lot of food for thought in it. It takes courage to start again.

Here are some of my favorite quotes that fit into the themes of this thread:

"You haven't failed till you quit trying."
~Anonymous


"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."
~Winston Churchill

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." 
~Mary Anne Radmacher


I appreciate your friendship and support, Peter.

Until next time --


Have an Awesome Week!

Sunny Greetings from California, Shirley!

Thank you for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment. 

I wholeheartedly agree that many people, including young children need to learn about Mr. Berton Braley's message, Start Where You Stand.

Here is one of my favorite quotes that fits into the theme of this thread:

"There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), the 32nd President of the United States

Again, I value your friendship and support, Shirley!


Have an Awesome Week!

Sunny Greetings from California, Bev!

Thank you for dropping in and for your thoughtful comment. 

Yes, I agree that Mr. Braley offered a lot of food for thought in his poem. His words are so encouraging.

Here is one of my favorite quotes that fits into the theme of this thread:
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
~Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) the 30th President of the United States

I value your friendship and support, Bev!

Have an Awesome Week!
