Marty,

This quote was written just for you and the Horn family project of AS....  We love you.

"When Nature has work to be done,
she creates a genius to do it."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson: 19th century American essayist and philosopher

Hugs.

Deb,

That is so true.  Thanks Marty, Sue, Brian and Svet for all you do for the military, their familes, and the "junkies".

Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as you can.                     ---  John Wesley (1703-1791) Founder of the Methodist Church

Stressed spelled backward is desserts

Life is short.  Eat dessert first.

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.     ---  Unknown

So many good quotes!

Here are a couple of my favs ...  I have a long, long list. I use them in letters, cards and emails to my contacts all the time.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
   Winston Churchill
(this one has been very relevant for me this last month!)

No kindness, however small, is ever wasted
   Aesop

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
   Abraham Lincoln

Another from our greatest president;  Abraham Lincoln.

"It's been my experience that people with no vices rarely have any virtues."

Oooooo Widget & James! Excellent!!!!

The Lincoln ones also sound like something Mark Twain would have written.  LOVE them!  Thanks.  I'll add all of them to my lists of favorites.

Havea great weekend.

Deb

Monday morning quote..........

For the love of God, stop whinning and make a difference!

 My own personally-relevant one recently comes from Vincent VanGogh:

 I put my heart and soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.

*grin*

Here's one of my favorites, it's a Spanish proverb and one I vowed to live by after 9/11.  I chose it as my tag line.

A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.

Another favorite of mine is:  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

In honor of Maj.Gary Bourland, SFC Mike Rush, The CSM, and all our beloved military, may I humbly submit today's quote:

Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together. Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) Essayist and moralist

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.                              I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

Milton Berle
