Mine of a paltry love:
Take it or leave it as you will,
I wash my hands thereof.”

hope."

"It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the

other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a
heap of thinking about the things you didn't say."

~James Whitcomb Riley~

“From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the
word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word
is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear
him down. That’s how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words
tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take
anyone’s name or reputation in vain.”

"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
