Who said THAT?
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Mother Teresa
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one. John Lennon

Thanks. It is easier to get into the quotes we read here if we can see who said it, when it is written.
"He was interesting because he was interested. He had a way of approaching subjects that was never boring."-- Gore Vidal, on writer Norman Mailer, who died at age of 84.

Hi Siobhain That's a very interesting one from Chekhov. Am i remembering correctly that he spent much time in a gaol? It goes to show how much knowing who said it places new meaning on what is said.

There are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them.

Someone was talking about examples recently... i don't remember where. But i just came across this proverb:
A good example is like a bell that calls many to church.
-- Danish Proverb
Here is another:
Example is not the main thing in influencing others.
It is the only thing.
-- Albert Schweitzer

Michael Jordan said, "I have failed many times and that is why I'm a big success". Donald Trump: "I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing on the present. That is where the fun is!" Such good advice! Trish
