This & That
Assorted Quotes
Let no one ever come to you with out leaving better and happier. Be the
living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile.

Mother Teresa
Some people enter our
lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the
same.

Nothing in the world can take the
place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full
of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems
of the
human race.
Calvin
Coolidge
Former
President of the United States
When I was a small boy in
Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing, and
as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank, we
talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I
wanted
to be a real major league baseball player, a genuine professional like
Honus Wagner.
My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States.
Neither of us got our wish.

The
Bathroom Sports Quote Book
Is anybody happier, because you
passed his way? Does anyone remember that
you spoke to him today? The day is almost over, the toiling time is past.
Can you say tonight in parting that you helped someone who passed? Is a
single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does a man who's hopes
were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or loose it,
was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of
discontent?
