The test of a real leader is whether he can be the boss without being bossy.
Think before you criticize.
The fellow who throws mud always ends up with dirty hands.
Conceit is God's gift to little men.
Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
Nothing is worth more than this day.
A new idea is a delicate thing. It can be killed by a sneer or yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown.
I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

Words of Wisdom
When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head.
You can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
To be great is to be understood.
Be silent. Silence never betrays you.
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
A promise made is a debt unpaid.
Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.
Every man's affairs, however little, are important to himself.
Some minds are like concrete--thoroughly mixed and thoroughly set.
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

Words of Wisdom
Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak. James 1:19
April 30th, 1962
Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and, following them, you reach your destiny.
Divinity

1 cup water
1/2 cup water
1/8 t. cream of tartar
3 egg whites
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 t. salt
1/4 cup water
1 t. vanilla
1 cup nuts
Put the 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and cream of tartar into a saucepan. Stir to blend, then boil rapidly without stirring to 240 degrees (med. ball) or until syrup will spin a thread 6 inches long when dropped from a fork.
In another saucepan, have combined the 2 cups sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 t. salt, and 1/4 cup water.
When the first mixture is done, place the second mixture over the heat and boil with occasional stirring until syrup reaches 280 degrees (med. crack stage).
Meanwhile pour the first syrup while still hot over the beaten egg whites, adding slowly and beating continuously until stiff and smooth.
Set aside until second mixture is done. Cool a minute or two, then pour it slowly over first mixture, continuing to beat until smooth and so stiff that it is hard to handle. Stir in flavoring and nuts. Spoon pieces onto waxed paper.

Words of Wisdom
To do nothing because we can only do a little is the greatest of mistakes.
Fortunate is the person who is able to control his tongue under tension.
A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.
