    that is a very nice thought, CP. i think it is worth printing and hanging above my desk at work. and the wide landscape offers the sense of boundless possibilities.

  4. Bernard says:

    “The impossible I do at once.
    Miracles take a little longer.”
    - was said to be the motto of the Army Service Forces.—The New York Times, November 4, 1945. This echoes a remark attributed to Charles-Alexandre de Calonne, Louis XVI’s minister of finance. Marie Antoinette asked him something in a tone that brooked no refusal, adding that perhaps it would be difficult. He replied, “If it is only difficult, it is done; if it is impossible, we shall see.”—J. F. Michaud, Biographie Universelle.
    Best wishes
