Quotes

I'm following quotations book on Twitter to get regular quotes like these. They have a site here.

Happiness is activity - Aristotle. This has sparked off a few thoughts in my head about nature conservation, land management, 'saving the planet' (aaaggh!) and so on. If I go against this advice and think through the sparks, I may get a post about it up here sometime.

See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little - Pope John XXIII. I'm not sure about the 'correct a little' bit, but I do like see everything, overlook a great deal. A kind of don't sweat the small stuff, don't judge others (I once heard this described as 'unconditional positive regard', yuk).
