I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.
When I was growing up we used to play basketball in a park that was never shoveled when it snowed. The basketball rims were never fixed. And we understood then that there was a relationship between public policy and our quality of life.
Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.
Having leveled my palace don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.
The world is full of abundance and opportunity but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
