A Handy Quote

I don't know that I've ever quoted this in more than two decades of doing this blog but at least once a week, I find myself thinking about and/or quoting a line that was uttered by the great playwright/director Moss Hart. Here it is…

I have had many successes in my life and many failures. Each time I had a success, it was for a different reason. Each time I failed, it was for the same reason. I said yes when I meant no.

That's the quote. See if you can retain it in the most-easily accessed part of your brain. And see how often you find yourself using it.
