Anna Steinbron:  

it.” —Matt Thiessen on Five Score and Seven Years Ago* *the worst thing is not that you said what you said; not that you did what you did; not that you failed, faltered, or fell short - the worst thing is that you hurt someone* *you can't see beyond the bend in the road, so watch where you're walking in the meantime* *if a person's actions are repugnant, condemn the actions, not the person; whereas the actions cannot be undone, the person may change* *those who find happiness within are destined never to lose it; but those who seek it elsewhere are doomed never to find it* *whatever you do in the name of Love, my friend, is never useless, never harmful, and, though not always seen or recognized, never without its rewards* *one must have self-esteem to the point of feeling worthy of serving others, but never to the point of feeling worthy of being served* *we should never be so presumptuous as to judge others who do not believe as we do but if someone's way of life is not filled with loving, caring, giving, and sharing, then perhaps our example in these areas may serve to open the closed mind and to soften the hardened heart* *the more we focus on self- satisfaction at the expense of others, and the more we follow hateful and hurtful plans of our own devising, the more frustration and despair we inevitably create for ourselves* *we tend to remember our own virtues and other people's faults, while overlooking our own weaknesses and other people's good points*".
