I just read recently – sorry can’t remember where – that this quote has been misattributed to Plato. Has anyone checked to make sure that he really said it? Its still a good maxim to live by, but makes you want to check whether you want an error prominently displayed on your wall.
Isn’t that the truth. I find these days that those with the “best” jobs, those living on trust funds, those who have always taken things for granted are the most frustrated. We’re all in the same boat. It’s time we realized it.
love this quote. it was my facebook status on sunday. i would love to own a copy of this poster.

One of my favorite quotes ever. In fact, I said it to myself today while attempting to subdue some road rage.

Oh, I love this quote. It’s sometimes hard to remember in the moment, though, isn’t it? Sigh.

Misattributed or not, I’d buy it & hang it in my office. I work in schools – teachers and students BOTH need to realize this!
