Quote by Charles F. Kettering

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on someth

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of perseverance and active pursuit of goals. By suggesting that one needs to keep going, it implies that success and new opportunities can be found through continuous effort and movement. The phrase "stumble on something" implies a fortuitous discovery or unexpected encounter, which is more likely to happen when one is actively engaged in exploring and taking action. The mention of not stumbling while sitting down highlights the idea that progress and serendipitous moments only occur when one is in motion and actively seeking them.

I think its rather peculiar. It's not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision. But I'd guess you'd have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government, so I guess I would put the onus on them to answer why they did all these purges of God.
