T. A. Rhodes
“We can’t control everything. And we sure as hell can’t change people without those people wanting to change and doing the work themselves. All we can do is have the presence of mind to focus on the task at hand. The grit to work through the problem to the best of our ability. The courage to make the best decision we can at the time. The patience to trust the process, and the humility to learn from it.”
T. A. Rhodes, The Lost Art of Searching: Embracing Uncertainty, Discovering Intrinsic Value, and Charging Through Life One Ride at a Time

“I think it is rather difficult, or wrong, to write any story involving wine, the English, and the countryside without a healthy dose of humour." — SM Lewis, Life in Fermentation”
S.M.Lewis
