Quotes on Sixth Anniversary

While eating my jam sandwich at the nursery, I realized today is this blog's sixth anniversary!
I quote from "Words:"

"Wednesday, October 20, 2010
...
Sensing that many other readers are pressed for time, or may not be intensely interested in my shared journal, I decided to blog with "language fast food."  Words can get in the way of human progress, as well as inspire great achievement.
...
Thank you for your interest.
Wishing you success and happiness,
and a little healthy fast food."

Here's a quote related to the above photo I took on our family trip:

"In Nauvoo, [George Q.] Cannon's father sent him to live with his uncle and aunt, John and Leonora Taylor. Cannon worked in the printing office of Times and Seasons and the Nauvoo Neighbor for Taylor, who was an editor of both periodicals. In June 1844, Taylor accompanied Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, and Willard Richards and others to Carthage Jail. There, Joseph and Hyrum were killed, and Taylor sustained serious bullet wounds. Cannon tended the printing affairs while Taylor recovered. This training would serve him well in later life."
