10Do we tell our children, be peaceful!! As we yell at them. Or be patient! As we hurry with no time to spend with them?

INSANITYDoing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

A Fence or an Ambulance? Twas a dangerous cliff, as they freely confessed Though to walk near its crest was so pleasant; But over its terrible edge there had slipped A duke and full many a peasant. So the people said something would have to be done, But their projects did not at all tally; Some said, Put a fence around the edge of the cliff, Some, An ambulance down in the valley.

A Fence or an Ambulance? But the cry for the ambulance carried the day, For it spread through the neighboring city; A fence may be useful or not, it is true, But each heart became brimful of pity For those who slipped over that dangerous cliff; And the dwellers in highway and alley Gave pounds or gave pence, not to put up a fence, But an ambulance down in the valley

A Fence or an Ambulance? For the cliff is all right, if youre careful, they said, And if folks even slip and are dropping, It isnt the slipping that hurts them so much, As the shock down below when theyre stopping. So day after day, as these mishaps occurred, Quick forth would those rescuers sally To pick up the victims that fell off the cliff, With their ambulance down in the valley.

A Fence or an Ambulance? Then an old sage remarked: Its a marvel to me That people give far more attention To repairing results than to stopping the cause, When theyd much better aim at prevention. Let us stop at its source all this mischief, cried he, Come, neighbors and friends, let us rally; If the cliff we will fence we might almost dispense With the ambulance down in the valley.

A Fence or an Ambulance? Better guide well the young than reclaim them when old, For the voice of true wisdom is calling, To rescue the fallen is good, but tis best To prevent other people from falling. Better close up the source of temptation and crime Than deliver from dungeon or galley; Better put a strong fence round the top of the cliff Than an ambulance down in the valley. Joseph Malins

I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man.
