Note: my daughter sent me these quotes by the incredible Andy Rooney. There’s only enough room to show some of them – will show the rest real soon. Enjoy!
I’ve learned
… that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
…. that when you’re in love, it shows!
… that just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my day!” makes my day.
… having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
… that being kind is more important than being right.
… that you should never say no to a gift from a child.
… that I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.
… that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
… that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
… that simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child, did wonders for me as an adult.
… that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
… that we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.
… that money doesn’t buy class.
… that it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
… that under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
… that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
… that when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
… that love, not time, heals all wounds.
More, next time!
