Today's Winning Thought

Let's do this backwards today. I end each of these posts with a quote or comment that I call Today's Winning Thought. I saw one in my planner this week that is probably too good to not use. "I believe that order is better than chaos, creation better than destruction. I prefer gentleness to violence, forgiveness to vendetta. On the whole I think that knowledge is preferable to ignorance, and I am sure that human sympathy is more valuable than ideology." Kenneth Clark said that. Clark was a British author art historian and broadcaster. There is no question that society would be better off if everyone would come even close to living by the words of his quote. It is possible, but it requires some effort.
