Hi Danny, I've read your Blogs and was saddened at first....but glad you turned it positive If I may add to your wonderful list,,,,,, here are a few of my favorite motivational sayings (- I try to live them:)

Your words should be like gifts- like presents - silver boxes with bows on top-Florence Littauer-author

The color of blood is red - everybody bleeds the same when cut and hurt- Grace Safrin, retired Critical care RN

the greatest NEW command I give you is to love one another as I have loved you - Jesus Christ- founder of Christianity

Happy Holidays

Sincerely,

Grace Safrin

Grace, my favorite is your second one. It is soooo TRUE. We all bleed the same color.

Danny - Good stuff.  Thanks for this new series.  Keep up the good work, buddy.

Jason, thanks for stopping in and I am glad you are enjoying it.

Danny, Lincoln is my favorite. The quintessential American. I'm enjoying this series as well. Yogi Berra?

Andrew, don't let the secret out. These editions will be on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

PS, Wednesday will be from influential sports figures.

Another good post about today's incident and great way to make it positive. Here is another quote to add:

Eleanor Roosevelt: Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

We should all strive for the first part, we are okay with the 2nd part and need to try to stay clear of the 3rd.

Chris, I could not have said it better myself.

Danny - Nice to read the famous quotes you supplied.  Great choice.

Candy, thank you very much.

I love these two quotes...they should be put together:

John F. Kennedy
Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.

Theodore Roosevelt
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.

***This speaks volumes...

Susie, I have to agree with you. That is why I choose both of them. I hope you like the new series and will check it out regularly.

I am glad you were able to turn things around to the positive after dealing with that guys negative crapola...always nice to see motivational stuff!

Rick, you got that right. Now, lets make some money....

Oscar Wilde  - Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.

Michael, that is pretty good. I will have to remember that.

Of course since I live in Massachusetts, my favorites are from John F. Kennedy!  :)

Rick, I love his quotes too
