That is wealth's greatest satisfaction.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

DO GOOD ANYWAY.

 

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.

THINK BIG ANYWAY.

 

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

FIGHT FOR SOME UNDERDOGS ANYWAY.

 

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

BUILD ANYWAY.

 

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
