Quote of the Day

Pat,

I really enjoy your quote posts. While reading a book recently I found this quote that I wanted to share . . .

From a book I am reading, "Light of the world" by James Lee Burke . . .

"At a certain age, you realize the greatest loss you can experience is a theft you perpetrate upon yourself - the waste of days given to us. Is there any more piercing remorse than the realization that a person has thrown away the potential that resides in every sunrise?"

Jim
