Turtle Power

The girls made a new friend today.

"Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help." Alex Haley

I found a great blog post about this quote:

The late Alex Haley, who wrote Roots, had a unique picture on his office wall of a turtle sitting on top of a fence post. Whenever someone asked about it, Haley would say, "If you see a turtle on a fence post, you know that he had some help. Any time I start thinking, 'Wow, isn't this marvelous what I've done?' I look at that picture and remember how this turtle, me, got up on that post."

(Leadership as cited in The Best of In Other Words, 1996, 135).
