4) Have A Nice Day

081018 quote

Recipe for Greatness …

To bear up under loss;

To fight the bitterness of defeat

and the weakness of grief;

To be a victor over anger;

To smile when tears are close;

To resist evil men and base instincts;

To hate hate and to love love;

To go on when it would seem good

to die;

To seek ever after the glory and 

the dream;

To look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more about to be;

That is what any man can do and so be great.

- Zane Grey

080218 Art Williams Quote

The key to winning in these United States,

Is what's inside a person?

It's your integrity.

It's your people abilities.

It's your character.

Number one, you've got to get excited.

Folks, I don't believe anybody will ever tell you anything

More important than this in winning these United States.

90 plus percent of winning in anything you try to do in

America today, you've got to be excited.

People in America won't follow or believe in a negative,

Dull, disillusioned, frustrated, cry baby.

People want people that are positive and excited and 

Enthusiastic and tough.

The greatest lesson …

The greatest definition I ever heard.

I thought about this 10 million times when I wanted to

Quit along the way of a winner.

This guy said, “Almost everybody in America can stay

Excited for 2 or 3 months.

A few people can stay excited for 2 or 3 years,

But a winner will stay excited for 30 years or however

Long it takes to win.”

If you want to win in these United States,

You got to be tough, and you can't quit.

- Art Williams

080118 quotes

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.

But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. 
- Sarah Ban Breathnack

Every man has his own destiny;

The only imperative is to follow it,

To accept it, no matter where it leads him.

- Henry Miller

If you make the unconditional commitment

To reach your most important goals,

If the strength of your decision is sufficient,

You will find the way and the power to achieve your goals.

- Robert Conklin

073018 quotes

Happiness begins where selfishness ends.

- Coach John Wooden

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want

To do good things even if we do not get anything

In return.

It is the joy of our life to do them.

When we do good things from this inner desire,

There is kindness in everything we think,

Say, want and do.

- Emmanuel Swedenborg

Life is unlimited.
Your world expands with the generosity,

Compassion, inventiveness, and service

That you contribute.
Money that is spent or given away returns

Multiplied.
The more love that is given, the more love returns.
The more a helping hand is given, the more hands
are strengthened and empowered to help.
We can help each other to all be winners.
We can all have food, and jobs, and love,

And happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Are You a Walk'in and a Talk'in with the Lord?

Are You Walking & A-Talking With The Lord?

On your journey to the grave

Would you stop and try to save

Are you ‘walking and a-talking’ with the Lord?

Would you lend a helping hand?

To some poor sinner man

Are you ‘walkin and a-talking’ with the Lord?

If your heart said testify, would the world hear your reply?

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Would you stand and shout His name or bow your head in shame

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

When the time has come to go, will your robe be white as snow?

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Will He take you by the hand and lead you to that Promised Land

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Chorus

Are you walkin’, (are you walkin’)

Are you talkin’, (are you talkin’)

Are you walkin’ and a-talkin’ with the Lord?

Are you traveling in the light?

Ev’ry day and ev’ry night

Are you walkin’ and a talkin with the Lord?

- Hank Williams, Sr.

072818 Bobby Cox quotes on Chipper Jones

The Atlanta Braves relied on brilliant pitching to win 14 straight division titles from 1991 to 2005, and they've been a dominant presence during Hall of Fame induction weekend in recent years. Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz rolled into Cooperstown in 2014 and '15. They were accompanied by John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox … the suspendered architect and tobacco-juice-spitting manager, respectively, who oversaw the whole arrangement.

Now a hitter joins them. Third baseman Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones Jr. will become the first position player from Atlanta's glory years to be honored with a plaque in Cooperstown.

Jones, 45, has maintained his ties to the Braves' organization as a special assistant to baseball operations.

"He was a shortstop when he came up, and he threw the ball away a lot. We wanted him to play a little bit of short, just to find out. Why not? But he's 6-feet-4, and he had the prototype body for third base written all over him.

"His arm from third was as accurate as a guy like Graig Nettles. And Chipper could come in on a ball like Brooks Robinson. That topped ball in front of the plate, he made that play look easy. He never missed."

"Chipper still comes around a lot. He's with us in spring training, and the players love him. It's a spark, no doubt about that. I should get some film of him and Andruw Jones and show it to all the minor leaguers so they can see how those guys played the game. There was never any showboating or pimping. I can honestly say, as good as Chipper and Andruw were, they could have done a lot of other stuff. But they did it right."

- Bobby Cox

072818 quotes

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness,

Not because they never found it,

But because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.

- William Feather

No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by

Turning to his ledger. 

It is the heart that makes a man rich.

He is rich according to what he IS,

Not according to what he has.

- Beecher

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.

Be happy now.

Don't wait for something outside of yourself

To make you happy in the future.

Think how really precious is the time you

Have to spend, whether it's at work or with

Your family.

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

- Earl Nightingale

Only One Chipper Jones 072718

He was in rarefied air as a hitter.

"I got to play with some great players. I played with Alex Rodriguez and 
Vladimir Guerrero and Juan Gonzalez. From an eye-hand contact standpoint, 
Chipper could put the barrel on the ball better than anybody. 
His coordination was so good, it didn't matter what type of pitcher was out there ...
whether it was a tough starter or a tough closer. 
He could put the barrel on the ball better than anybody.
"People ask me, 'Who was the best pure hitter you ever played with?' 
and I say Chipper Jones. If he had stayed healthy, he's a 500-homer, 3,000-hit guy
and we're not talking about him being one of the best third basemen of all time. 
We're talking about him being one of the best players of all time."

- Mark Teixeira

"He was a dynamic hitter from both sides of the plate. 
I think he was a little more natural hitter from the left side, 
and at times maybe he had a little more power from the right side. 
Either way, he was just a threat from either side of the plate. 
When you start getting compared to Eddie Murray and Mickey Mantle and those
types of players as a switch-hitter, then you're doing something really well.
"I always said Chipper was the kind of guy who could fall out of bed and go 3-for-4. 
He had that kind of talent. To his credit, he worked at it. He understood his swing and his approach, and on top of that he was really good at incorporating what guys were trying to
do to get him out. His [mindset] was like, 'I know what I do, and I'm going to do it better
than you. And I'm going to have a more successful night getting my hits than you are 
getting me out."'

- Tom Glavine

A person.

Let us not look back in anger

072218 Forget and Remember

Forget & Remember

Forget each kindness that you do

As soon as you have done it.

Forget the praise that falls to you

The moment you have won it.

Forget the slander that you hear

Before you can repeat it.

Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer

Wherever you may meet it.

Remember every kindness done

To you, what’re its measure.

Remember praise by others won

And pass it on with pleasure.

Remember every promise made

And keep it to the letter.

Remember those who lend you aid

And be a grateful debtor.

Remember all the happiness

That comes your way in living.

Forget each worry and distress;

Be hopeful and forgiving.

Remember good, remember truth,

Remember heaven's above you.

And you will find, through age and youth,

True joys and hearts to love you.

- Priscilla Leonard
