"If you can't look at yourself in the mirror tomorrow, don't do it today."

"Accept."

Both came from my father, the wisest man I ever knew.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes should not perish but have eternal life.

I like this quote because it is the crux of existence.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman

In reading this forum over the past year it seems many of you Villagers have done just that - with an active senior lifestyle involving many activities and interests. That's what I want for my wife and I, whether it be at the Villages or somewhere else. We are two weeks away from a lifestyle preview visit where we'll hopefully get a feel for whether the Villages is for us.

"All Gave Some -- Some Gave All"

Don't know who authored this quote, but all I have to say is God Bless our military personnel and their families for their service to our great country!!!

" Nothing should be so highly prized as the value of each day " Goethe and " All is well, all is as it should be" Luo Tzu These quotes help me to remember to be in the moment... To treasure and cherish each minute of my life.

Not my circus Not my monkeys. An old Polish saying. It has kept me out of trouble at times.

"Hey, that's not fair, I don't have a favorite quote!"

That's my favorite quote. It was once said by a famous man who didn't have a favorite quote. I don't remember his name.

"You can get a lot further with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word alone." --Al Capone

This sat unobtrusively in a frame on the desk of Lt. Mike Torello (Dennis Farina) in the TV show Crime Story. I always liked it & put it on the door to my office.
