A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time: pills or stairs.

A small speckled visitor Wearing a crimson cape Brighter than a cherry Smaller than a grape A polka-dotted someone Walking on my wall A black-hooded lady In a scarlet shawl.

Friendship is like a rose. . . opening one petal at a time, only as it unfolds. . . day by day it reveals its true beauty.

A brook can be a friend in a special way. It talks to you with splashy gurgles. It cools your toes and lets you sit quietly beside it when you don't feel like speaking.

Love comes quietly... but you know when it is there because suddenly... you are not alone anymore... and there is no sadness in you.

Like all good teachers, the world repeats her lesson. Over and over ...with wordless variety... She spells the name of Love.

As we express our appreciation of our many blessings, we become more conscious of what the Lord has done for us, and thereby we become more appreciative

I too mean to be out of politics. The ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment gives me the boon of equality before the law, terminates my enlistment, and discharges me cured.

Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!
