Thanks Neil! I have recently acknowledged to myself that I am a quote collector. I have them on my frig, on cards, in books, in my head, on sticky notes on my computer.
I like how they can succinctly say what would take me pages & still not have the clarity the quote does.
I collect them because something in them resonates with me at the time. Songs are the same way... lyrics from songs can bring me to tears, even ones that I have not heard in decades.
I agree, courage & tolerance are both desirable traits to life's journey no matter where on that path you find yourself. Sometimes the trickiest part is to deicide if you are in the majority & need tolerance, or in the minority & need courage.
I"m conflicted about your quote.
I want the 'ease & acceptance'from others that I was able to try, and failed. Yet, I was raised with the parental attitude of "If you can't do it right, then don't do it at all". Yoda, sounds like my Mom. LOL
Thanks for stopping by. Peace

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
