Today's Word – ENNUI
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a
friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother,
conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
— Francis Maitland Balfour
Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the
pleasure of forgiving their enemies.
— Earl of Chesterfield
Whoever approaches Me walking, I will come to him running; and he who meets Me with sins
equivalent to the whole world, I will greet him with forgiveness equal to it.
— Marlene Dietrich
He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he
would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.
— Lord Herbert
Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a
sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the
lightness in your life.
— Joan Lunden
Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.
— Jean De La Bruyere
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
— Mahatma Gandhi
Tis the most tender part of love, each other to forgive.
– John Sheffield
de·ba·cle noun 1. A sudden, disastrous collapse, downfall, or defeat;
a rout. 2. A total, often ludicrous failure. 3. The breaking up of ice in a river. 4. A
violent flood. [French débâcle, from débâcler,
to unbar, from Old French desbacler : des-, de- + bacler, to bar
(from Vulgar Latin *baccul³re, from Latin baculum, rod.]
Geologists formerly would have brought into play, the violent action of some overwhelming debacle; but in this case such a supposition would
have been quite inadmissible; because, the same step-like plains with existing sea-shells
lying on their surface, which front the long line of the Patagonian coast, sweep up on
each side of the valley of Santa Cruz.

Definition from American Heritage Dictionary
The Millipede
The millipede lives in dark, damp places. It generally feeds on
dead and decaying plant material. Sometimes they will feast on living plants and are
therefore unwelcome in gardens and greenhouses. The milliped is harmless to humans. They
do not bite, and they are not poisonous.

A FEW SMILES
A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see walking down
the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer walking along the road, he would
swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve
back on the road.
Being a newspaper photographer, my husband would often get home late with the excuse
"I had to shoot a car wreck," or "I had to shoot a football game." A woman was letting her husband have it with just a touch more venom than usual,
saying, "You're an idiot. You have always been an idiot. You'll always be an idiot.
If they had an idiot contest, you'd come in second." TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. |
