“[E]xperience has taught me that you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. Their real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire. That will, wherever it finally leads, does at least move you forward. And after a time you may recognize that the proper measure of success is not how much you’ve closed the distance to some far-off goal but the quality of what you’ve done today.”
Sonia Sotomayor, MY BELOVED WORLD (Knopf, 2013).

Anna, Interest that you should quote Sotomayor. Mom and I read it and were impressed by the book and the Justice. I’m glad you got something useful out of it. Love Dad
Hey, Dad. I’ll admit this quote is from the preface so I haven’t gotten very far yet. Yet, I’m already impressed.
