A Thought to Think

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.

I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;
for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are."


Milton Berle

I liked the poem so much that I read it out loud to my husband.

The flower looks like it's just reaching towards the sunlight. Bee-u-tee-ful!

That is a great quote from Milton Berle. I never thought of him as giving quotes like that one, but after reading it I knew it was typical for him.
