"Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts."

This makes sense to me.  We  need to be mindful of what our priorities should be... and remember to focus on what really matters...  I think I'll try to do better in that regard.

"Sometimes the mind relives things very clearly for us...There are roads out of secret places within us along which we all must move as we go to touch others."  ---Romare Bearden

"I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids_and I might even be said to possess a mind.  I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."---Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man (1952)

"Do what you should do, when you should do it whether you feel like it or not."
                                                                                                      -Thomas Huxley

this is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem...
