Quotes To Ponder...

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~Melody Beattie
"The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard." ~Joel Salatin
"People see God every day, they just don't recognize Him." ~Pearl Bailey
"See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?" ~from the movie "Signs."
"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful." ~John Wooden

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." ~Mother Teresa
"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." ~Daniel Webster
"If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money." ~Abigail Van Buren

"Guard against the postures of pretended patriotism." ~George Washington
"Fear can keep us up all night long, but faith makes one fine pillow." ~Unknown
"How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?" ~Paul Sweeney
"Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choices of good and evil we have made through life." ~John C. Geikie
"It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark." ~Howard Ruff, How to Prosper in the Coming Bad Years

"Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be." ~Grandma Moses

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature." ~Anne Frank
"Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best." ~Henry van Dyke

"Your life may be the only Bible some people read." ~Author Unknown
"Character is higher than intellect." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." ~Thomas Jefferson

"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted." ~Aesop
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life." ~Sandra Carey
"You always have a choice, even if it is only a choice of your attitude." ~Lucy MacDonald
