“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.”

“If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”
Thomas J. Watson, quoted by Jeff Hayden on Inc. online (www.inc.com/jeff-haden/top-350-inspiring-motivational-quotes-to-tweet-and-share.html)
“I say you cannot really understand any myths till you have found that one of them is not a myth. Turnip ghosts mean nothing if there are not real ghosts.

GKC, “The Priest of Spring,” in Alberto Manguel, ed., On Lying in Bed and Other Essays by G.K. Chesterton

Matthew Barrett on resigning as head of the Bank of Montreal, as the “Quote of the day” in Globe & Mail February 24, 1999

In 1922 Chesterton in London “gave another talk on Socialism where he said his primary objection to socialism was that ‘it would be a dictatorship, with a tyranny of officials in every department of life.’”
“100 Years Ago” in Gilbert The Magazine of the Society of G.K. Chesterton Vol. 25 #2 (Nov.-Dec. 2021) [and if Chesterton, a Christian apologist and fiction writer, could see it so clearly, why couldn’t politicians, pundits and professors?]
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the Supreme Court ruling on the former Bill C-69, aka Impact Assessment Act, is not a big win for those who don’t want the feds to crush our energy industry, and we need to engage on the science of climate change not count on sloppily-drafted legislation to save us from the zealots.
