If you live to be one hundred years old....I want
to live to be one hundred minus one day......so I never have to live without you!
~ Winnie The Pooh
It is better to bind
your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear.
~ Terence
How far you go in life depends on your
being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
~ George Washington Carver
Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only
a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

We may, if we choose, make the worst of one another.
Everyone has his weak points; everyone has his faults; we may make the worst of these; we may fix our attention constantly
upon these. But we may also make the best of one another. We may forgive, even as we hope to be forgiven. We may put ourselves
in the place of others, and ask what we should wish to be done to us, and thought of us, were we in their place. By loving
whatever is lovable in those around us, love will flow back from them to us, and life will become a plaeasue instead of a
pain; and earth will become like Heaven; and we shall become not unworthy followers of Him whose name is Love.
~ From the book.....Leaves of Gold
LOVE.....
Is the medicine of all moral
evil. By it, the world is to be cured of sin. LOVE is the wine of existence. When you have
taken that, you have taken the most precious drop that there is in the cluster. LOVE is
the seraph, and faith and hope are but the wings by which it flies. The nature of the highest love
is to be exquisitely sensitive to the act of forcing itself unbidden and unwelcomed upon another. The finer, the stronger,
the higher love is, the more it is conditioned upon reciprocation. NO MAN can afford to
invest his being in anything lower than FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE.....these three....the greatest
of which is LOVE.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in
each other's life.

FALSE FRIENDS are like our shadows, keeping close
to us when we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.

BUT ONLY ONE MOTHER.....
Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets,
rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only ONE mother in the whole world!

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when

Do you want to know the man against whom you
have the most reason to guard yourself? Your mirror will give you a very fair likeness of his face.
~ Whateley
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

Cherie Carter-Scott
[God says,] "This rather is the practice that I wish:
releasing those bound unjustly,
untying the thongs of the
yoke,
setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke,
sharing your bread with the hungry,
sheltering the oppressed
and the homeless,
clothing the naked when you see them
and not turning your back on your own flesh.
Then your light
shall break forth like the dawn;
your wound shall quickly be healed;
your vindication shall go before you,
and the
glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call and the Lord will answer."
~ Isaiah 58:6-9
