26 Feb 00 - 12:17 PM (#185285) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - February 26, 2000 From: katlaughing Hey, Amos! I'se jist quoting an' ole' "What Grandma Always Said" reprint that my mom sent me years ago, which I unearthed in a recent desk escavation! There ya go, Troll, just keep mining, you'll strike gold fer sure! My dad does, every time he remembers something else and he is almost 83! You're just a spring chicken! Here's the rest of them: We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Most of us can keep a secret. It's the people we tell it to who can't. Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life. There are times when silence has the loudest voice. When God measures a person, He puts the tape around his heart, not his head. People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. By teh time we realize our parents were right, we have children who think we're wrong. |

26 Feb 00 - 01:27 PM (#185306) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - February 26, 2000 From: Amos McGrath you nailed it there, with some help from the great Goethe. Always look before you think, I sez. If more people looked and counted before thinking and talking there's be a lot more accurate thoughts and talk in the world, in my (un-quantified and uninspected) opinion... There are really three groups of people in the world....those who can count, and those who can't. |

Ignorance we can cure, stupidity we are forced to live with. If at first you don't succeed, ask for help before screwing it up completely. Yours,Aye.Dave |
