I heard a quote from an unknown author today that sorta fits very naturally in this community. It goes like this: "If you place a lesser value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your worth".
Do any of you Lettervillians know who the author of this piece of wisdom might be?
Have you heard a quote yourself that you feel has a kernel of truth or wisdom, that you'd like to share? Feel free to add additional "pearls of wisdom" to this thread.

Dare to Greatness "It is not the critic who counts, not the man that points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." --Theodore Roosevelt

Choose your life's mate carefully....from this one decision will come 90% of all your happiness...or misery!
Smile a lot...it costs nothing and is beyond price.
Be suspicious of ALL politicians.
When someone hugs you...let them be the first to let go.
Purchace gas from the neighborhood gas station, even if it costs more...next winter when it is six degrees and your car won't start...you'll be glad they know you.
Never ask a lawyer to accountant for business advice...they are trained to find problems, not solutions.
