Words of wisdom

In the book The Best Advice I Ever Got by Katie Couric, Lisa Ling's contribution called Give of Yourself includes an email her husband sent her with this story -

"On a street corner I saw a cold, shivering girl in a thin dress, with no hope of a decent meal.  I got angry and said to God, 'Why did you permit this?  Why don't you do something about it?'  God replied, 'I certainly did something about it.  I made you.'"  I thought that was a good reminder to help others when you can.

Here is a great quote from Groucho Marx -

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.  I can choose which it shall be.  Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.  I can have just one day today and I'm going to be happy in it."

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.  - Franklin D. Roosevelt
