Excellence

Patti over at oboeinsight regularly posts quotes, mostly music-related, all thoughtful, some inspiring. Yesterday’s is so good, it might become a new motto of mine:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
-Aristotle

Now that is something to think about.

My other mottos:

Regrets cause wrinkles.
-Sophia Loren

You are only as young as your spine is flexible.
-anonymous yogi

I feel like I have another one, but I can’t remember it. Must be a good one…

Oh, here's a good one:

"You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul."
-George Bernard Shaw

Victor Hugo can always be counted on for good ones:

**There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.

**Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
