Jonathan’s Favorite Quote:
“The master in the art of living drawers no line between his labor and his leisure, his mind and body, his work and his play, his eduction and his recreation, he draws no distinction, he hardly knows which. He pursues his excellence in whatever he is doing, and leaves others to decide if he is working or playing; to himself he is always dong both.” — James Mitchner —
