While we may be: " One Nation Under God, " there is a tremendous amount of variation in the moral profiles and agendas of Americans in different regions of the country. The regionalization of moral beliefs are very evident to-day, look around your city and state, then compare it with the other cities and states - - you be the judge. The company we keep goes along way towards establishing the kind of person we are.

ONE OUGHT TO PONDER
YOU WILL FIND THAT PEACE OF MIND ONLY COMES; WHEN YOU FORGIVE RATHER THAN JUDGE ! TRUTH IS PERFECT AND ROUND; IT DOES NOT HAVE TWO SIDES ! GOD ANSWERS KNEE-MAIL ! THE TEN COMMANDENTS ARE NOT SUGGESTIONS ! DUSTY BIBLES, LEAD TO DIRTY LIVES ! WATER NEVER RISES ABOVE ITS SOURCE; A MAN'S DEEDS ARE EQUAL TO HIS THINKING POWER ! FOR BEHIND EVERY ACT THERE IS A THOUGHT, AND BEHIND EVERY THOUGHT AN IMPULSE THAT MAKES ONE THINK ! MAKING FRIENDS IS LIKE LEARNING MUSIC; THE FINGERS OFTEN MISS THE RIGHT NOTE, BUT THE PLAYER TRIES AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL HE STRIKES IT RIGHT ! IT'S NOT THE HOURS YOU PUT IN YOUR WORK THAT COUNTS, IT'S THE WORK YOU PUT IN THE HOURS ! WE MUST BE WILLING TO GET RID OF THE LIFE WE'VE PLANNED, SO AS TO HAVE A LIFE THAT IS WAITING FOR US ! YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING ! WHERE WOULD YOU PUT IT ?
BEING TRUTHFUL, WHEN YOU KNOW IT WILL COST YOU, IS A TRUE TEST OF HONESTY ! ADVERSITY IS LIKE A STRONG WIND. IT TEARS AWAY FROM US ALL BUT THE THINGS THAT CANNOT BE TORN, SO THAT WE SEE OURSELVES AS WE REALLY ARE ! EVERY EXIT IS A ENTRY SOMEWHERE ELSE ! AMBITION IS THE PATH TO SUCCESS. PERSISTENCE IS THE VEHICLE YOU ARRIVE IN ! WE ARE NOT HELD BACK BY THE LOVE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE IN THE PAST, BUT BY THE LOVE WE'RE NOT EXTENDING IN THE PRESENT ! THE ONE THING THAT UNITES ALL HUMAN BEINGS, REGARDLESS OF AGE, GENDER, RELIGION OR ETHNIC BACK-GROUND, IS THAT WE ALL BELIEVE WE ARE ABOVE-AVERAGE DRIVERS ! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CAPACITY OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING TO HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME SHORTCOMINGS YOU HAVE ! IF THE 20th CENTURY TAUGHT US ANYTHING, IT IS TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE ! HALF OF THE HARM THAT IS DONE IN THE WORLD IS DUE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO FEEL IMPORTANT ! WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, YOU OFTEN END UP WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ! THE ART OF BEING WISE IS THE ART OF KNOWING WHAT TO OVERLOOK ! NO BODY IS EVER ALWAYS WRONG, EVEN A CLOCK THAT STOPS, IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY ! AN EASY TASK BECOMES DIFFICULT WHEN YOU DO IT WITH RELUCTANCE ! ONE'S FRIENDS ARE THAT PART OF THE HUMAN RACE WITH WHICH ONE CAN BE HUMAN ! IF YOU CAN'T BE KIND, AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO BE VAGUE ! IT MAY BE THAT YOUR SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS SIMPLY TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO OTHERS ! DRIVE CAREFULLY. ITS NOT ONLY CARS THAT CAN BE RECALLED BY THEIR MAKER ! A LAWYERS CREED: A MAN IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN BROKE !
