20070717 Quote of the Day - The Sweetest Pleasures

Quote of the Day - The Sweetest Pleasures

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

“The sweetest pleasures are those which do not exhaust hope.”

Author unknown

Thanks TC

This quote reminds me of the colleague who calls to my attention at different moments in public debate that there are those in the community who are takers and those who are givers…

In Westminster, as with many communities, we have a few individuals, who, when they get up to speak, you can just hear the wind leave the room to be immediately replaced with sheer exhaustion… They are the black vortexes whose gravitational pull is so severe that it just brings everybody down…

Of course it is TC, who among several folks helped develop the concept of dream keepers.

Please see: The Westminster Dream Team

September 22nd, 2004 by Westminster Mayor Kevin Dayhoff (2001-2005)

Like many communities, Westminster has its dreamers, its dream keepers and its dream slayers. The dreamers and the dream keepers are the stuff that makes a community a home; a great place to live, do business and raise a family. The dream keepers are citizens - not spectators. The dream keepers say “let’s do it” and then roll up their sleeves and go to work.
