Dear Jim,

Great quotes this week! Some of my faves:

Willard Van Orman Quine:

“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.”

Jim Mattis:

“You don’t always control your circumstances, but you can always control your response.”

Philip K. Dick:

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”

“When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.”

John Wooden:

"I don't give advice, I give opinions."

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

Thanks so much for sharing as always!

Love

Myq
