Daily Quote: A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway to life.- Celia Luce
Word of the Day: chronology- the determination of the temporal sequence of past events
Idiom of the Day: Sink your teeth into- Do something with a lot of energy and enthusiasm
