Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failures" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
- MARY PICKFORD
That which you persist in doing becomes easier, not that the nature of the thing itself has changed, but the power to do it has increased.
- RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
- MELODY BEATTIE
I was part of that strange race of people
aptly described as spending their lives
doing things they detest
to make money they don't want
to buy things they don't need
to impress people they dislike.
- EMILE HENRY GAUVREAU
The Body of Benjamin Franklin,
Printer
(Like the cover of an old book
Its contents torn out
And stripped of its lettering and gilding).
Lies here, food for wormsl
But the work shall not be lost,
For it will (and he believed) appear once more
In a new and more elegant edition
Revised and corrected
By the Author
- EPITAPH OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
