Is it True? Is it Kind? Is it Necessary?Mark Twain
The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.Thich Nhat Hanh
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them,they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.Abraham Maslow

The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one's mind a pleasant place in which to spend one's leisure.Mark Twain
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.Anne Lamott
We write to expose the unexposed. If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise, you'll just be arranging furniture in rooms you've already been in.
