Upward Mobility
“Remember, things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights - then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward, that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend.”

Endicott Peabody was the governor of Massachusetts when I was a little girl. I never knew he said anything so profound!
Good to remember.
Hi Linda,
It is powerful isn't it? I guess if we listen to anyone long enough, they are bound to say something wise. ;D
Wise words... and something I particularly needed to hear at this moment!
Hi Felicitas,
That's the thing about quotes. They seem to hone in on what we need to hear. :D
