2/7/08 Something to Remember

I'm out in the field today (surveys! Yay!) so no access to a computer to write your daily dose of Quirkiness. Instead, I leave you with this quote I came across, so that you may think on it and have deep philosophical discussions amongst yourselves.

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
--Martha Washington (1732-1802)

How awesome was Martha Washington? Discuss.
