  1. Yep, it is nice.

    Reaffirming basic truths. (Reaffirmative action.) What is Chevy’s connection to this? Didn’t they take a taxpayer bailout? So, now throwing that taxpayer money at tax-deductible public service feel-good projects? But however it got made, I’m glad it did.

  2. “Few men are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application,”

    — Calvin Coolidge

    “I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.”

    — G. K. Chesterton

    “Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.”

    — Guiseppe Garibaldi

    “Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.”

    — Leonardo DaVinci

    “Let him that would move the world first move himself.”

    — Socrates

    “To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage, or of principle.”

    — Confucius

    and, appropriately to the quote in the video:

    “Lord, grant that I my always desire more than I can accomplish.”

    — Michelangelo

  3. “Faint heart never won fair lady!”
    Every journey has an end –
    When at the worst affairs will mend
    – Dark the dawn when day is nigh –
    Hustle your horse and don’t say die!

    Never, never, never,
    “Faint heart never won fair lady!”
    While the sun shines make your hay–
    Where a will is, there’s a way –
    Beard the lion in his lair –
    None but the brave deserve the fair!

    Never, never, never,
    “Faint heart never won fair lady!”
    Nothing venture, nothing win –
    Blood is thick, but water’s thin –
    In for a penny, in for a pound –
    It’s Love that makes the world go round!
    … G&S of 1882 …

    Cheers
