Re the above.

Awesome! Do continue to share these. Very educating

You can be childlike without being childish.

Good, honest, hardheaded character is a function of the home. If the proper seed is sown there and properly nourished for a few years, it will not be easy for that plant to be uprooted.

Without goals and plans to reach them, you are like a ship
that has set sail with no destination.

Did you know:

In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King. When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations. The plaque read … "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (Zap.). This is the origin of the word.

time for love.

~ Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant, they is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.

~ Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

~ "Because everything we say and do is
the length and shadow of our own souls,
our influence is determined by the quality of our being

~ Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments
that take our breath away.

One person with a belief is equal to 99 who have only interests.
- John Stuart Mill

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them


The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. I would never promote to a top-level job a man who was not making mistakes, otherwise he is sure to be mediocre

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."

. . . . . that the telephone was not widely appreciated for the first 15 years because people did not see a use for it. In fact, in the British parliament it was mentioned there was no need for telephones because "we have enough messengers here." Western Union believed that it could never replace the telegraph. In 1876, an internal memo read: "This telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication." Even Mark Twain, upon being invited by Alexander Graham Bell to invest $5 000 in the new invention, could not see a future in the telephone
