You can do anything that you set your mind to. - Benjamin Franklin [1705-1790]

(This is the same quote as Delia Ketchum said to Ash Ketchum while on the video phone in the English Dub version of Pokémon: the original series in the episode: Pokémon Emergency while I was looking into inspirational quotes to live by from each Pokémon series on YouTube and so far, this quote is the only one from a historical figure, without being said I don't own anything from Benjamin Franklin, Pokémon or YouTube whatsoever)

"I just want you to know that if you are out there and you are being really hard on yourself right now for something that has happened ... it's normal. That is what is going to happen to you in life. No one gets through unscathed. We are all going to have a few scratches on us. Please be kind to yourselves and stand up for yourself, please."

Taylor Swift

    This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...

    I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.
