A "Words to live by" thread.........again.

Thursday, February 6, 2003 by UBoB | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'll start this off again....

"You may be only one person in the entire world, but if you're really lucky you might be the entire world to one person."


.....now, follow this example, and please keep it nice.

"A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve
two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in
the image of what you desire." Thomas Merton

A month ago I lost my father to cancer. It was a long hard battle for him. My own sadness cannot be expressed properly in this forum.

I will quote the one line that I have always like, originally said by Heywood Brown.

"The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins."

Lost my Dad to cancer too, feel your pain! It might take years to be able to express all you feel! So very sorry for your loss!
I was very close to my Dad even though I was grown, he was a great friend too! Nobody can take your memories and nobody will ever take his place.

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you. Paul "Bear" Bryant

You can do absolutely anything you want to in this life,

You've got to make a conscious choice every day
to shed the old-whatever 'the old' means for you.
