QUOTE of the WEEK:

"We make a living by what we get,

but we make a life by what we give."

Winston Churchill

 

 

POEM for YOUR WEEK:

Lifting and Leaning

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

There are two kinds of people on earth today,

Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.

 

Not the good and the bad, for 'tis well understood

The good are half bad and the bad are half good.

 

Not the happy and sad, for the swift-flying years

Brings each man his laughter and each man his tears.

 

Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth

You must first know the state of his conscience and health.

 

Not the humble and proud, for in life's busy span

He who puts on vain airs is not counted a man.

 

No!  The two kinds of people on earth I mean

Are the people who lift and the people who lean.

 

Wherever you go you will find the world's masses

Are ever divided in just two classes.

 

And, strangely enough, you will find, too, I ween,

There is only one lifter to twenty who lean.

 

In which class are you? Are you easing the load

Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road?

 

Or are you a leaner who lets others bear

Your portion of worry and labor and care?

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

Elizabeth Bibesco

 

Not what we give, but what we share,

For the gift without the giver is bare;

Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,

Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.

James Russell Lowell

 

Simply give others a bit of yourself; a thoughtful act, a helpful idea, a word of appreciation, a lift over a rough spot, a sense of understanding, a timely suggestion. You take something out of your mind, garnished in kindness out of your heart, and put it into the other person's mind and heart.

Charles H. Burr

 

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement.

Sidney Madwed

 

The measure of life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

Peter Marshall
