THINGS we might ALL consider

Friends:

First say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do.

Every man's and woman's life lies within the present for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.

There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.

Where one man or woman reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.

The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.

What a man or woman knows at fifty that they did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.

High expectations are the key to everything. I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.

If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!

To decide to be at the level of choice, is to take responsibility for your life and to be in control of your life.

If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn't make your house look any better.

The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved the pig is committed.

Emotion is the surest arbiter of a poetic choice, and it is the priest of all supreme unions in the mind.

Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it and a men and women becomes famous because he or she has the proper stuff in them.

It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.

Loneliness breaks the spirit. Man or woman is more interesting than men or women. God made him and/or her and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.

Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and human pleasures. Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see it is above, not against them.

Consistency, friends, is the first of Christian duties.

Successful people are simply people who learn to solve their problems... they are not people without problems.

Perhaps misguided moral passion is better than confused indifference.
