Quote of the Day- May 8, 2011
A mother is the truest friend we have, when heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.- Washington Irving

Quote of the Day- April 25, 2011
I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred—that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. . . . If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.

Quote of the Day- May 6, 2011
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us- Waldo Emerson
When we are deciding what the right thing to do is, it is easy to get caught up in the facts. What has happened is what we know. Oftentimes, if we know one thing that happened in the past, then it will instill a fear that will keep us from doing the same thing for the right reason in the future. What is in the future is a mystery. I believe that the unknowable scares us. Death, decisions, and throwing are lives on the line for what we believe in. We do not know what will happen to us and therefore we are worried for are own well- being. Or maybe you do not do it for your own well being, but sacrifice yourself for the good of others and then worry that your sacrifice won't matter in their lives. However, to do the right thing you must turn to what is within you. You have all of the resources to do the right thing and conquer your fear.
