Quote #30

It is not the critic who counts; not the moan who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who come short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Quote #29

No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity than is required to accept misery and poverty. ~ Napoleon Hill

Quote #27

Last night my best friend, Kira, gave birth to her little girl, Gracen Marie, at 10:18 PM, she came a little over a month prematurely, over night the baby developed complications and had to be placed on a ventilator, by early morning Gracie's little heart began to give out and at 9:15 this morning Gracen Marie lost her valiant battle to live in her daddy's arms. RIP baby girl, you were in our lives for such a short time but somehow managed to leave us all heart broken: I always did say you were gonna be a heart breaker.

An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth and whispered as she closed the book "Too beautiful for earth."

Quote #26

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest. The ugliest thing is a man who thinks nothing is worth fighting and dying for and lets men better and braver than himself protect him. ~ John Stuart Mills

Quote #25

It is never too late to become what you might have been. ~ George Elliot

The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we can count on Him never to lead us astray. ~ Charles R. Swindoll

Quote #22

Children Seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

Resolutions

No one will ever get out of this world alive.

Resolve therefore to maintain a sense of values.

Take care of yourself. Good health is everyone’s major source of wealth. Without it, happiness is almost impossible.

Resolve to be cheerful and helpful. People will repay you in kind.

Avoid angry, abrasive persons. They are generally vengeful.

Avoid zealots. They are generally humorless.

Resolve to listen more and talk less. No one ever learns anything by talking.

Be chary of giving advice. Wise men don’t need it and fools won’t heed it.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.

Do not equate money with success. There are many successful money-makers who are miserable failures as human beings. What counts most about success is how a man achieves it.

Quote #21

If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full and you can give things out of that. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

Quote #20

In times of difficulty don't say "Hey God I have a big problem" ... instead say ... "Hey problem I have a BIG God!"

Quote #19

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ Winston Churchill

Russian Kids vs. American Kids

This is an email that I received, it's funny how true this is. All the Russians/Ukrainians know what I mean.

American kids: Move out when they're 18 with the full support of their parents.
Russian kids: Move out when they're 28, having saved enough money for a house, and are two weeks away from getting married.....unless there's room in the basement for the newlyweds.

American kids: When their Mom visits them, she brings a Bunt cake, and you sip coffee and chat.
Russian kids: When their Mom visits them, she brings 3 days worth of food, begins to tidy up, dust, do the laundry, and rearrange the furniture.

American kids: Their dads always call before they come over to visit them, and it's usually only on special occasions.
Russian kids: Are not at all fazed when their dads show up, unannounced, on a Saturday morning at 8:00, and starts pruning the fruit trees. If there are no fruit trees, he'll plant some.

American kids: Always pay retail, and look in the Yellow Pages when they need to have something done.
Russian kids: Call their dad or uncle, and ask for another dad's or uncle's phone number to get it done.

American kids: Will come over for cake and coffee, and get only cake and coffee. No more.
Russian kids: Will come over for cake and coffee, and get Borsht, vodka, a salat olivye', a choice of two meats, salad, bread, a dish of babushkas desert, fruit, and a few after dinner drinks.

Weekend

So this weekend I went snowboarding with my friends and the cabin that we were staying in was supposed to be nice and have wifi and all that good stuff - well it wasn't nice and it had no wifi and non of the neighbors had wifi so it sucked because I had brought my laptop up with me so that I could work and there was no wifi whatsoever! I was able to do some work but most of it was on a server to which I could not connect so couldn't so it - yay for working longer hours the next week to catch up. But other than a crappy cabin and lack of technological connections the trip was good, we had fun and no one got hurt! I will get back to my quote project tonight and post quotes for the days that I missed.
