One of Maria Elena's favorite quotes is:"Mother Teresa- "People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest anyway.
What you spend years creating, others may destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis it is between you and (your) God (conscience). It is never between you and them ANYWAY."
Mother Tersesa
"It's not the Years in your life that counts-it's the Life in your years"
Abraham Lincoln
"Nothing in life is permanent in this world...not even your troubles" (thus the performer entertains) Charlie Chaplain
