Your Quotes for 16 November 2005 - Drum Month

I don't pay much attention to the array of commemorative months, weeks, and days. Most of them just don't move me any more than National Fried Celery Week (which doesn't exist) or National Iced Tea Month (which does - June), not to mention that there just aren't that many quotes appropriate for National Welding Month (April). But this is International Drum Month, so let your fingers beat out a quick tattoo on your desk as you check out these quotes on Drums.

If you hear a different drummer - dreamer, take a chance. The road you choose to travel means the difference in the dance.
     - D. Morgan

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

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

You know the drum was the first instrument besides the human voice.
     - Billy Higgins

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
  And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
  Funeral marches to the grave.
     - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807 - 1882

If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum.
     - African proverb
