BONUS QUOTE OF THE DAY

“When nothing seems to help, I go and 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 would split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” — Jacob A. Riis

 (Riis, 1849-1914, was a Danish American social reformer, journalist and photographer.)
