Mark Twain: Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.

Supposedly I am related to Mark Twain, a great-great-great-great- uncle or something like that, lol

Mark Twain: I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write,
but those who cannot learn, unlearn, or relearn.
~ Alvin Toffler

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion. In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies. Black and white, rich and poor, gay and straight, Jew and Arab, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Buddhist, Hutu and Tutsi, Pakistani and Indian - all belong. When we start to live as brothers and sisters and to recognize our interdependence, we become fully human.
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu

.........DO IT ANYWAY ............


People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Good Morning Everyone!


Joseph Smith: We cannot be saved until we have risen above all our enemies, not the least of which is ignorance.

is this supposed to inspire love for others, or love of ones self the most........

joseph smith.......a leader and creater of war, by feeding human nature that first sees many as enemeies, that such exist.......

open to your individual interpretation David

Keep your thoughts positive,
because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive,
because your words become your behaviours.
Keep your behaviours positive,
because your behaviours become your habits.
Keep your habits positive,
because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive,
because your values become your destiny.

Hindu Proverb: They who give have all things; they who withhold have nothing

Hindu Saying: Pitiful is the one who, fearing failure, makes no beginning

please...........to see anything as an enemie, make for deception of the mind...........

if one see fear as an enemy, then fear overtake....

if one see another human as an enemy, then many become as enemy.......

if one see greed as an enemy, then greed overtake.....

if one see wickedness as en enemy, then wicked oevertake.....

there are no enemies, and such words only create enemeies.....

yes, this is perception, interpretation, and if seen as antagonistic, then this is perception as well........

each decide what be truth for themself, and each share as they see fit........

what is freedom except this.......

these things could also be thought provoking, which does lead to peace, with all and oneself, but what wishes to be antagonized that see thru eyes that see MANY enemies............peace
