Casting Reformation To The Winds

Friday, January 1st, 2010

A quote for today, the first of January 2010.

“Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.”

– Mark Twain. 1863.

New Year’s Resolutions? Not for me.
