The Monday Morning Memo

“A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.”
– Sir Joshua Reynolds

“To accomplish the miraculous, you must attempt the ridiculous. Don Quixote is the icon of every individual who is willing to pay that price. In Cervantes’ book of 1605, Quixote never meets Dulcinea, but everything he suffers and accomplishes is in her name and for her honor. In the eyes of everyone else, she is a common village girl with nothing special about her. But Quixote sees beauty where others do not. Is he crazy? Perhaps. But isn’t every entrepreneur who has a dream?” – Roy H. Williams

“When others speak of ‘chasing windmills,’ they’re talking about a futile gesture. But when we speak of ‘chasing a windmill,’ we’re talking about finding your purpose. Don Quixote is, for us, not a madman but a role model.” – Pennie Williams, speaking of Wizard Academy alumni, Sept. 23, 2014
