Hi Everyone -
Please let me know if you think this is a good thread to start.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your
heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

He who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Friends, you and me....
You brought another friend....
And then there were 3....
We started our group....
Our circle of friends....
And like that circle....
There is no beginning or end....

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

Well.......Ya!!!:)

One is alone,
a twosome is company,
a threesome is a crowd,
a foursome means it's time to tee off!

It's not a great quote, but it's the only one that came to mind at the moment.:D

GREAT Thread!!!!

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Once at a critical juncture in my life I asked my dying grandfather what he would do in a similar set of circumstances, He pondered my question for an hour and then summoned me to his deathbed. his response has stayed with me for 30 years, "let us go out into the night and kick a one legged jackal......How profound!!
