"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it." - Jack Handey

A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

In reference to thread #500. "Aristotle said this". Imagine having everything; money, knowledge, fame, postion, power, security. Those soon would have very little value without true friends and family. The ones who would care for you even without position, knowledge, fame, money, power, security. Yes, I am sure there are people that live today, that have no "real" friends and loved ones, but seem to have "everything" else. What a meanless existence.

Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain. -- Mark Twain

We cannot let this thread die. It's so positive, for the most part and I can't believe we can't find some wise things to say (even if borrowed) to encourage all. I know I have enjoyed this "words to live by" so much! Please dig deep, find those words and pharses and share, share, share!

Neither respect nor admiration will be found if sought.

A prerequisite of both is to let THEM come to YOU...

While we can all agree that the world would be a better place with more books and less bombs, a realistic assessment of human nature leads to the conclusion there are times when evil men must be removed from power in order for peace to be a possibility.“Truth & Consequences”. . .

Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.
