QUOTES

If criticism is mistaken or mean-spirited, rise above it. Maintain the high ground when you're under fire. No victory is worth winning at the expense of picking up the mud that has been slung at you and throwing it back.

Rubel Shelly

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

William James

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Charles Kingsley

Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.

Charles M. Schultz

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.

Og Mandino

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and of true progress.

Nicholas Murray

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards. They try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do in order to have what you want.

Margaret Young

Never miss a chance to keep your mouth shut.

Robert Newton Peck

The Lighter Side

Are you glad you asked?

The professor of a contract law class asked, "If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?"

A student said, "Here's an orange."

"No!" the outraged professor said. "Think like a lawyer!"

"Okay, I'd say, 'I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, right, claim, title, and advantages of and in, said orange, together with its rind, juice, pulp, and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat the same or give the same away, with or without the pulp, juice, rind or seeds, herein before or hereinafter or in any deed or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding ...'"

Dirty magazines

A Marine husband called home to tell his wife he would be late. He said dirty magazines had been discovered in the platoon's quarters and they had to discipline the whole squad.

She launched into a tirade, arguing that many men had pictures hanging in their quarters at their previous post, so his new platoon should not be penalized for something so trivial.

The husband calmly listened to her gripes and then explained, "Dirty magazines: The clips from their rifles had not been cleaned."
