A quotation by former president Bill Clinton (emailed to me yesterday):

 

"At Memorial Day, it is time to pause and consider the true meaning of this holiday. 

Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and reverence,

honoring those Americans who died while defending our Nation and its values. 

While we should honor these heroes every day for the profound contribution

they have made to securing our Nation's freedom,

we should honor them especially on Memorial Day."

Even if you think you're on
the right track,
you'll get run over
if you just sit there.

Do you know what
seven-foot basketball players
do in their off-time?
 
They go to the movies
and sit in front of you.

You know you are getting older when you start riding your bike
and your kids take the car.

If you cannot lift the load
off another's back,
do not walk away.
Try to lighten the load.
