Quote of the Day
To laugh often and much;to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Abbeville Institute This Week
McClanahan and Abbeville Institute will probably end this year's fresh content over the coming week. Depending on availability of other content, I may sample from older material I haven't embedded to date. I expect to post daily content, but the nature and frequency of posts may vary by work or travel schedule constraints.
