This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z. Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter. It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day. I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!

“...your grace's words have been like manure spread on the barren ground of my dry and uncultivated mind.”
-Sancho Panza to Don Quixote
Happy Friday!

In other words, watch where you step...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if that's a compliment or not.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Compliments were different then.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder how that was perceived all those years ago. I would take it as an insult these days.
ReplyDeletebetty
Actually, coming from Sancho, it's supposed to be as crude of a compliment as it is. It's one of my favorite parts of Sancho, there is truth, but he never conveys his truths with grace.
