Margaret's Notes
- You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. -Abraham Lincoln
- When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind. - Dalai Lama
- “It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.” - Francis Bacon, Sr.
- “In a gentle way you can shake the earth." - Mahatma Ghandi
- "It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the
music is nothing if the audience is deaf." - Walter
Lippman
- "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength"
- Eric Hoffer
- "To have respect for ourselves guides our morals;
and to have a deference for others governs our manners" - Lawrence
Sternes
- “You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.”–Doug Floyd
- “If what you did yesterday still looks good to you, then you haven't done much today."–Baseball Quote
- An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside of you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied," The one you feed."
-American Indian Proverb
