Life is not about the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.

Suvival is our strongest instinct, but becomes our weakest link.

Smile and be kind to someone today for that may be the only smile and kindness they ever see.

ANYBODY CAN LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES A WISE MAN LEARNS FROM OTHERS

Ronald Reagan:
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. I believe Abe Lincoln said that but I'm not sure.

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

Benjamin Franklin's quotes:

-  Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

-  Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

-  A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

-  Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

-  Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

-  Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

-  Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.

-  Half a truth is often a great lie.

-  All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.

Courage is knowing that God has you in his hands and walking through the fear of whatever you are going through because he is always there for you.

A true friend is one that knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you forget the words.

Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.

Here's one my Mother used to use on us children when we whined because we were so poor: "I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet" It was very effective! How I miss her and her wisdom!....(:

Spaceghost I just saw your comment to my comment regarding the person who notifies everyone concerning birthdays and anniversaries and such. I would be glad to do it though it would be nice to have it done in rotation with a few others. Any volunteers?? Would have to be of course someone who would come online here daily during your "time". Again, any volunteers?? I still think it's a great idea and would be more than happy to take a poll starting tomorrow and I'd gather the names and birthdates and such (family members of users included if wanted) and keep a list and pass it along to anyone who would assist with rotation. Again..ANY VOLUNTEERS?? Let me know. I'm turning in now as we ole hipsters need our beauty rest. Keep me posted here Spaceghost. Good night all!
