A quotation from Samuel Johnson

The distance is commonly very great between actual performances and speculative possibility. It is natural to suppose, that as much as has been done to-day may be done to-morrow; but on the morrow some difficulty emerges, or some external impediment obstructs. Indolence, interruption, business, and pleasure, all take their turns of retardation; and every long work is lengthened by a thousand causes that can, and ten thousand that cannot, be recounted. Perhaps no extensive and multifarious performance was ever effected within the term originally fixed in the undertaker’s mind. He that runs against Time, has an antagonist not subject to casualties.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, “Pope” (1781)

A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6

Dear Friends,
As we know, #kindness is an #acquired taste. Toddlers #develop it, soon enough. Then it is a question of degree, #circumstance and #choice. Not necessarily in that order, index or notification.
To #celebrate this FAQtoid: 🎉
- Be kinder not a German kinder 😇
- Eat greens and other colours 🕊️
- Mind, your manners ❤️

"Birmingham's a city, a small world of darkness", the Elementz recount on the lead off track "Speech Therapy", from their album Neon Verses. It's a statement uttered by many of England's new artists as they attempt to reconcile the dark and dreary environments of many of the country's industrialized cities with problems of their own.
