A Thought for Tuesday

Know someone who doesn't like to get out of bed in the morning? Remind them of this line from the Italian Renaissance Man Dante Alighieri (1265-1312):

"Lying in a featherbed will bring you no fame,
nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses
up his life without achieving fame leaves no
more vestige of himself on Earth than smoke
in the air or foam upon the water."
