Such is man's nature, that he is very inactive and lazy unless he is influenced by some affection, either love or hatred, desire, hope, fear, or some other. These affections we see to be the springs that set men agoing, in all the affairs of life, and engage them in all their pursuits.
Jonathan Edwards

Grandpa

Shooting the breeze down at the Veteran's hospital, a trio of old timers
ran out of tales of their own heroic exploits and started bragging about
their ancestors.

"My great grandfather, at age 13," one declared proudly, "was a drummer
boy at Shiloh."

"Mine," boasted another, "went down with Custer at the Battle of Little
Big Horn."

"I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three, "but if
my great grandfather was living today he'd be the most famous man in the
world."

"What'd he do?" his friends wanted to know.

"Nothing much. But if he were alive today, he would be a 165 years old."
