*Our greatest responsibility is to be good ancestors.  Jonas Salk
In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a
better time on the trip.*
*God, what do you think I should do? *
*How few there are who accept failure and weakness, who are content to see
themselves on the ground and to be found there by others.   (**St. Therese
of Lisieux)*
*May the Lord Bless and Keep You!, The Lord let His Face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you Peace!
