Ken Craft:
Can you share any precepts/maxims that help you be the person you'd like to be?
Ken Craft
From Frost: "The best way out is always through." From Thoreau: "A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone."
From Montaigne: "Confidence in others' honesty is no light testimony of one's own integrity." From Voltaire: "Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do." And from Jane Kenyon: "Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours."
