“Kathy was a Republican, one of those people who used the
unforgivable phrase ‘meant to be’ – usually when describing
her own good fortune or the disasters that had befallen other people.”

“A boy doesn’t have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn’t like pie when he sees there isn’t enough to go around.”

“A wise man once told me, “I’ve never been a bitter or vindictive person and I’m not going to allow anyone to make me into something I’m not.” Now that’s good advice! In these tumultuous times we must guard our hearts. We cannot allow heated political differences, financial crises or hard times to turn us into angry or bitter people. Determine that with God’s help you are not going to allow anyone or anything to make you into something you are not.”
– Richard Exley
