+My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.” “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.”

+You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.

In my quest for a quote that I have been in search of since I didn’t write it down, I found this one.
as they say, “a short pencil is longer than a long memory.” I should of heeded.

I still need the one that I heard from a DELL associate the other night. If you are reading this please drop me a comment.

Faith and Deeds

14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

Cowardice asks the question, “is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “is it political?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question “is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question, “is it right?”  And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.
