ÔÇ£In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.ÔÇØ
John Churton Collins
"The older I get, the less I care about what people think of me.
Therefore, the older I get, the more I enjoy life."
Anon
THE VALUE OF A SMILE
"A smile costs nothing, but it gives much. It reaches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory lasts a lifetime. No one is so rich or mighty that one can get along without it, and no one is so poor that one can be made richer by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged. A smile is sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give."
"It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably."
Immanuel Kant
'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.'
Voltaire
ÔÇ£Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.ÔÇØ
Walter Cronkite
"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."
Oscar Wilde

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
