"Time Tested Beauty Tips"

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone...

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others. ~Sam Levenson

"I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather my spark
should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be
stifled in dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and
permanent planet. Man's chief purpose is to live, not to
exist; I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I
shall use my time." ~Jack London

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood--
And I, I took the one less travelled by
And that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a
healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." ~Ralph
Waldo Emerson
