“At one and the same time we must philosophize, laugh and manage our household and other business, while never ceasing to proclaim the words of true philosophy.” ~ Epicurus
I am delighted to note that this morning’s post marks three hundred sixty-five consecutive daily blogs on Gregg Hake’s Blog! It has been a delightful process for me and I trust that my words and the brilliant quotes I have shared from those who inspired me over the years have (1) touched your minds and hearts and (2) compelled you to refinement in thought, word and deed.
Onward and upward!
