Well I am looking forward to your comments on whatever I have so far posted and what I may post hereafter. Suggestions and new additions for improving this page, please send without any reservations, and remember:
Among the smaller duties of life, I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is due. Reputation is one of the prizes which men/women contend for, it produces more labour and more talent than twice the wealth a country could ever rear up. It is the coin of genius and it is the imperious duty of every person to bestow it with the most scrupulous justice and the wisest economy without any reservations.

P8. KEEP IT UP!!!
Nothing can stop his steps who mocks,
At thunder-showers and lightning fits;
The confidence with which he treads,
Can shatter hardest rock to bits.
Who with decision clinches life;
And walks with vision, unafraid;
His reputation inevitably waxes high,
His goal is reached - his life is made.
That heart can never reach the goal,
Which goes astray in confusion;
Only that heart can reach the goal
Which is not tangled in illusion.
Know that it is your duty to go on,
With courage trusting in His Grace;
He who has triumphed over mind,
Is certain winner of the race.
Feet that are steady, firm and sure
Can make the proudest mountain bend;
The journey starts at every step,
In truth there is no journey's end.
When driver, car and wheel,
Become a trio, start to work as one;
Obstinate hurdles disappear,
Hazardous jobs are done.
He who leaves foot-prints on his life's way,
On him high glory is bestowed;
All earth receives him reverently,
While stars to him reveal the road.
Along life's journey - off and on
Lie obstacles of rock and ditch;
He who with courage drives the life's car
He truly reaches his goal without a hitch.
So just keep it up, up and up!!!!!!

OL4. MORE OF ONE LINERS WISDOM
The best way to stay young is to GROW UP!
Success is really the art of not giving up!
The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it.
Success is the tribute life pays to excellence.
The mind, like the parachute, works best when open!
The most effective waterpower in the world - TEARS?
Stubborn people follow the path of least assistance!
The city is not a concrete jungle - it is a human zoo?
Speak kind words and sure enough you will find an echo!
The best thing to do behind a person's back is to pat it!
The best gift is one that is tied with your heart's strings!
