Quotes

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

(may not be from Saint-Exupéry but is central to the idea of teaching and training someone) 

“You do not inherit the earth from your ancestors: you borrow it from your children”.

A well known quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry  

Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each  morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved  perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. 


His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
 
After   many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled   sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description   of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. 


I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just   been presented with a new puppy. 
 
'Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.' 
 
'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied.
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. 


Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is   arranged .. it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.
'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the   parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful   for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day   and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life. 


Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank  account of memories! 

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank.  I am still depositing.
'Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 

1. Free your heart from hatred.  

2. Free your mind from worries.  

3. Live simply.  

4. Give more. 

5. Expect less.

quote from mom

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Bev.

see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil - Three wise monkeys

An expression that has come up many times in my life. Steve.

Mahatma Gandhi's one notable exception to his lifestyle of non-possession was a small statue of the three monkeys.

The three wise monkeys (Japanese: 三猿, san'en or sanzaru, or 三匹の猿, sanbiki no saru, literally "three monkeys") are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody theproverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one,Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". 

Three wise monkeys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote from Facebook

"One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering. --Ida Scott Taylor"
