“We have become a nation of thoughtless rushers, intent on doing before thinking, and hoping what we do magically works out. If it doesn’t, we rush to do something else, something also not well thought-out, and then hope for more magic.”
Len Holman

Frank Sonnenberg
“Most people are so busy chasing things they don’t have, that they fail to appreciate the things they do.”
