Food for thought...

Just wanted to thank you all for showing my parents such a good time last
night. They really enjoyed meeting you and finally being able to put some
faces with the names. At one point I believe my Dad even stated, "I love
this place...now we'll have to come here every Wednesday." (An idle threat
though don't worry). They, as well as myself, are definitely fans of the
topical conversational range ever present at "Steak Night". Our own, though
at times juvenile and base, version of the Algonquian Table.

Now on to the "food for thought"...I had a hard time narrowing down my
selections today so please bear with the number of quotes and their seemingly
unrelated themes (I just couldn't cut any more).

"Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger,
misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life
with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a
sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow." --
Dorothy Thompson

"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary
form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school
and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of
the value of the result to the community." -- Albert Einstein

"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but
among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." --W.H. Auden

"Learn to give yourself what you wish you could get from somebody else." --
Steven Ouellette

"The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words
return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy." -- Florence Scovel
Shinn

"We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of
regret or disappointment." -- Jim Rohn
