"Kites rise highest against the wind--not with it." -Winston Churchill

Hi again!  So I don't really have a quote to match my day or anything, but I found this one and decided it was good for sharing.  It reminded me of the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini that I read about a year ago.  It's a really good book, and I'd recommend it to anyone.  This quote fits perfectly with the themes of the book, and it's an interesting point.  Kites use the wind that's opposing them to lift higher in the sky.  It reminds me of a frequently quoted scripture from The Book of Mormon that's in 2 Nephi 2:11.  It says:  "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things."  Wow, two quotes in one post!  Lucky day.... :)
