Random quote of the day:

â€œPatience and latitude and even humility are paradoxically the handmaidens of wealth, because virtue is costly only for those who own nothing else.â€

â€”James Lee Burke, Wayfaring Stranger

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this random quote of the day do not necessarily reflect the views of the poster, her immediate family, Key and Peele, Celine Dion, or Sgt. Pepperâ€™s Lonely Hearts Club Band. They do, however, sometimes reflect the views of the Cottingley Fairies.
