"If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones." ~ John Steinbeck "It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." ~ Douglas MacArthur "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." ~ William Shakespeare “Those who don't study the past will repeat its errors. Those who do study it will find other ways to err.” ~ Charles Wolf, Jr. "The wisest mind has something yet to learn." - -- George Santayana "It's time to put behind the greed and help the ones in need." ~ Cal Jennings "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old." ~ George Burns " "Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told.

"Everybody has to be something." ~ Cal Jennings "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." ~ Paul McCartney “Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind.” ~ Dr. Seuss "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Proverb 1:7 "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:14-17 "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48(b)
A Cherokee Legend
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past; we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is, Attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you.... We are in charge of our Attitudes. -- Charles Swindoll
