Vanessa:  I love Thomas Jefferson!  I have a display on my office wall which includes two posters (framed in Italian Leather) with his "Rules of Conduct" and quotes from his memorial wall in D.C.  Between those, I have a framed sheet of 8 Two-Dollar bills with him signing the Declaration of Independence! Good stuff! Thanks for reading!

Laurie: Zig has been my long-time favorite!  See you at the top!

I like the qoutes and the fact that you have them around your office for reminders even better.

Robert:  Thanks for reading!  I just wish I could recall the right quotes when I need them.  Some people are so good at that.  I seem to only be able to recall them when they are in front of me...

Don, that Ann Landers quote I have found to be always right on the mark with my observations in life. They similarly say your true character is how you act when no one is looking. I've tried hard to be genuine and not act one way with some and another way with others. Surprisingly many think this is odd or rare. To me it seems the right way to live.

April:  Very true! You can quickly tell the sincerity and compassion of an individual by the way they treat others, or the help.

Great quotes.  They remind me of a poem by Edgar Allen Guest.  I don't remember all of it but it is something like this.  The title is "Myself"

I have to live with myself and so,

I want to be fit for myself to know,

I want to be able, as days go by

to look myself, straight in the eye

and that's all I can remember.  Edgar Allen Guest was a great poet.  Not the same as Edgar Allen Poe!

Billie:  I'm thinking maybe of starting a group for quotes...  Maybe there already is one...?  Thanks for reading!

Evelyn:  I like that.  We have to answer to ourselves more than we do & more than we think we do.  It seems as though we are often trying to fit into someone else's mold.  Thanks for sharing that!
