s but with the lips Thanks but in part; The full, the true Thanksgiving Comes from the heart. J.A. Shedd "Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while others praise Him for putting roses among thorns." "Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end." -- Scott Adams I am an AMERICAN!!! I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL!! I grew up reciting these words every morning in school. It is a shame we no longer do that...for fear of OFFENDING SOMEONE.....!! "In my many years I have come to a conclusion..... that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress." ~ John Adams ~ Heavenly Father, walk through my home and take away all myworries and any illnesses; and please watch over and protect my family and friends.In Jesus name, Amen. This prayer is so powerful. With God all things are possible. "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."-- Kabir My thoughts and prayers to all my family and friends that have, are and will be coping with the death of a loved one. "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." -- Charles Darwin "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self." -- Aristotle "Everything will be all right in the end; if it's not all right then it's not the end." "In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds." -- Aristotle "My interest is in the future... because I'm going to spend the rest of my life there." "Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box." "One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything." -- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. ~T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding" "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present." - B. Olatunji "A leader leads by example not by force." -- Sun Tzu Pain is temporary, Pride is forever never give up. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all morality. - John F. Kennedy "To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others." -- Tony Robbins "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." -- Benjamin Franklin "Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society." -- Benjamin Franklin We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. "Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." -- Aristotle "Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character." -- Heraclitus The more THEY talk, the more I know the Truth. ...."I see stupid people...they're everywhere...they're just like you and me, but they're stupid!"".
