One of Betty's favorite quotes is:"A Columbine High School student wrote:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but less solutions; more medicine, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, b...Expand for more
ut reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
Weâve learned how to make a living, but not a life.
Weâve added years to life, not life to years.
Weâve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
Weâve conquered outer space, but not inner space.
Weâve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
Weâve split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We have higher incomes, but lower morals.
Weâve become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
