Words of Wisdom
"Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking."
"Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."
"Love, like virtue, is its own reward."
"If you let others dictate how you feel, you are going to be miserable."
"That man [or woman] is a success who has laughed often, and loved much; who has filled his niche and loved his task; who leaves the world better than he [or she] found it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he [or she] had."
"You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile."
"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach."
"Do we know the poor in our own homes? Sometimes people can hunger for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that none of them feels alone, abandoned, neglected, needing some affection? That, too, is poverty."
The Lighter Side
Actual 911 emergency phone calls
(1)Dispatcher: "9-1-1 What is the nature of your emergency?"
Caller: "I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't have an eleven on it."
Dispatcher: "This is nine eleven."
Caller: "I thought you just said it was nine-one-one."
Dispatcher: "Yes, ma'am, nine-one-one and nine-eleven are the same thing."
Caller: "Honey, I may be old, but I'm not stupid."
(2)Dispatcher: "9-1-1 What's the nature of your emergency?"
Caller: "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart."
Dispatcher: "Is this her first child?"
Caller: "No, you idiot! This is her husband!"
(3)Dispatcher: "9-1-1 What is the nature of your emergency?"
Caller: "Yeah, I'm having trouble breathing. I'm all out of breath. I think
I'm going to pass out."
Dispatcher: "Sir, where are you calling from?"
Caller: "I'm at a pay phone. North and Foster."
Dispatcher: "Sir, an ambulance is on the way. Are you an asthmatic?"
Caller: "No."
Dispatcher: "What were you doing before you started having trouble breathing?"
Caller: "Running from the police."
