[famous_quotes] Attitude and Gratitude
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,
but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the
effort.

the lifeboats.
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is
powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich?
He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is
something masculine.
If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so
much pleasure in noticing those of others.

used one to say "thank you?" ~William A. Ward

and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. ~G.K.
Chesterton
Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. ~G.B.

are those who have helped you. ~John E. Southard
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
