Quotes of the Day for 12 November 2004 - Drum Month

November is International Drum Month. I don't use a lot of these odd observances as themes for two reasons. First, nobody cares if it's National Bouillon Week (it isn't), and second, I can't find quotes to fit most of them. Quotes on drums I've got.

     - D. Morgan

The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth.
     - Mary McLeod Bethune, 1875 - 1955

See the conquering hero comes!

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
     - Henry David Thoreau, 1817 - 1862

Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams.
     - Mary Ellen Kelly
