Thought For The Day - Thanksgiving 2008

None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude.  Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. 
Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
 
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. 
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Thought For The Day

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
We thank Thee!

Thought For The Day

"When times are good and I am flush, and my house needs painting, I hire a painter (maybe a decorator to help select the colors) and get my house painted. When times are less than good, and I am not as flush and or concerned about the future, (hence safeguarding my assets), and my house needs painting, my wife and I pick out the paint, and systematically paint our house ourselves. Regardless of the circumstances we are in at the time, the result is, our house gets painted."
paraphrased from Neil J. Cantor

Thought For The Day

"Our problems are manmade; therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable, and we believe they can do it again."
President John F. Kennedy address at American University

"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."
