Nothing lowers the level of conversation more than raising the voice.

Stanley Horowitz

--

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

The best inheritance you can leave your kids is an example of how to live a full and meaningful life.

Dan Zadra

Editor’s Footnote: I find it more than ironic that the above quote happened to just “show up as the next in order.” It was on this day in 1984 that my mother went to be with the Lord. Nearly every day since that day, Dan Zadra’s words have rung true. One of the lessons is to realize that how you live your life will probably have great impact upon others. The other lesson is to cherish those in your life, for tomorrow is not promised.

If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the spirit in which you are rendering it.

Genuine security arises from actual, first-hand knowledge that one is both capable and worthy of achieving happiness (through conscious, responsible action) and, once having attained it, that he deserves it.

Don't shout till you are out of the woods.

English proverb

--

Real intelligence is a creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts. The slow thinker who can finally come up with an idea of his own is more important to the world than a walking encyclopedia who hasn't learned how to use information productively.

D. Kenneth Winebrenner

--

From long familiarity, we know what honor is. It is what enables the individual to do right in the face of complacency and cowardice. It is what enables the soldier to die alone, the political prisoner to resist, the singer to sing her song, hardly appreciated, on a side street.

Mark Helprin
American Novelist and Writer

Barbara Pletcher

You can be totally rational with a machine. But, if you work with people, sometimes logic has to take a back seat to understanding.

Akio Morita
