THAT WYLIE BUGLE & UIL STATE UPDATE

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

- Thomas Edison
