2. Name-o-rama:
3. Reiterated @SPUD's parting words from Monday and expanded on it with another quote with similar message.
1. Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before. -Jacob Riis
2. A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence. —James N. Watkins
