Quote of the Day (Daniel Webster, on Self-Discipline)
“The greatest of all warriors in the siege of Troy
had not the pre-eminence because nature had given strength and he carried the
largest bow, but because self-discipline had taught him how to bend it.”—U.S.
Senator, statesman and orator Daniel Webster (1782-1852) quoted in The
World’s Laconics: or, The Best Thoughts of the Best Authors, edited by
Everard Berkeley (1853)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
