32. Thirty-two sheets of dryway. Number 2 will hate me today, but remember this day forever. Maybe I should have given him Number 3’s quote?
As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins.

Quotes:
1. “Look at those who fail, and you will find that most people fail not because they make mistakes, but because they are not fully committed, and the same goes for companies.” — John D. Rockefeller’s Letter to His Son
2. “Only by being able to endure what people cannot bear, can you do what people cannot do.” — John D. Rockefeller’s Letter to His Son
3. “Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course, you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.” – The Little Prince, Antione de Saint-Exupery
4. “To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined, and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.” – Tom Brady
Bonus Quote (This one is for the wife): “The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.” – Les Misérables, Victor Hugo
