If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Hello ashmstng, just read the following poem which you typed and thought it was really lovely. Just sent it to a friend of mine. She said she liked it too.

ashmstng wrote:
We may not always realise
that everything we do,
Affects not only our lives
but it touches others too.
As alittle bit of thoughtfulness
to show someone we care,
Brings along some sunshine
for all of us to share.
So everytime we offer
someone a helping hand,
Everytime we show a Friend
we care and understand.
Everytime that we have
kind thoughtful words to give,
We help someone find happiness
in this precious life we live.
For happiness brings happiness
and loving ways bring love.
And giving freely is the gift
that contentment is made of!



I love all the quotes people have sent. Keep them coming.

Assent -- and you are sane --
Demur -- you're straightway dangerous --
And handled with a Chain --

This is somewhat of an unexpected quote I found from Tolstoy. Not really his normal writing.


THE MEANS TO GAIN HAPPINESS IS TO THROW OUT FROM ONESELF,
LIKE A SPIDER IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AN ADHESIVE WEB OF LOVE,
AND TO CATCH IN IT ALL THAT COMES.
***** LEO TOLSTOY *****

[BuckeyeFan]

** William Blake **

The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.

I sought my soul, But my soul I could not see. I sought my God, But my God eluded me. I sought my brother, And I found all three.

What is now proved was once only imagin'd.

[BuckeyeFan]

I love this one. Makes us think twice about wild predictions.


HAD THERE BEEN A COMPUTER IN 1872, IT WOULD PROBABLY

DRAWN VEHICLES IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN UP ALL
THE MANURE.
