“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”

  ~Doug Larson

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

George Washington Carver
