Jacob Riis: Quote for July 1, 2010

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.
On July 1st 2007, I started collecting daily quotes. Every day on this blog I posted a different quote for three years. Some of the people quoted have been quoted more than once, but what they said was always different. I still hope to continue this blog for many more years, always adding a different daily quote. Thank you for reading this blog. I hope you've enjoyed these quotes and that some of them even inspired you. -- George V. Lunt
