"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." Atticus Finch to his children.
"Another Mockingbird quote," you probably are thinking. "What a waste of bandwidth."
Other than the Bible and possibly Shakespeare, name one book that teaches so much about life and how to live?
Well, I'll give you another definition of courage. Raise your children, then watch them leave home and live their lives.

Michael has been quoting from "To Kill a Mockingbird" to us lately.
Jean,
Forget Dr. Spock. Atticus Finch taught me more about being a father than Dr. Spock and Mr. Spock combined.

We're getting "To Kill a Mockingbird" from Netflix and taking it up to the mountains this week.
