The Leaf and Bach

Find a moment for your favorite tobacco and a few minutes of reflection

----------------------------------------
A few thoughts for reflection:

-“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

-“All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.”

-“It’s not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?”

-“When someone is properly grounded in life, they shouldn't have to look outside themselves for approval."

-“More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.”

-"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." -Thomas Paine

-"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." -Thomas Paine

-"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one." -Thomas Paine

-"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value." -Thomas Paine
