Happy Birthday E. B. White (July 11, 1899 – October 1, 1985).

Charlotte’s Web.

”Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.”

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”

“Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.”

“Never hurry and never worry!”

“Safety is all well and good: I prefer freedom.”

“With the right words, you can change the world.”

And with the right moves, you can solve tonight’s chess puzzle, composed by Johannes Jacob Rietveld in 1919, when E. B. White was at Cornell.
