Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (Dec 1964)

I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Most of these people will never make the headlines and their names will not appear in Who's Who. Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this marvelous age in which we live -- men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble civilization -- because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness' sake.

SENIOR MOMENTS

Priorities Change
Senior citizen to his eighty-year old buddy:"So I hear you are getting married?"

"Yep!"

"This woman, is she good looking?"

"Not really."

"Is she a good cook?" "Naw, she can't cook too well."

"Does she have lots of money?"

"No, poor as a church mouse."

"Well then, is she good in bed?"

"I don't know."

"Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"

"She can still drive."


Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
~~Suzanne Somers

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
~~Helen Keller

I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I must stop and look fear in the face.... I say to myself, I've lived through this and can take the next thing that comes along.
~~Eleanor Roosevelt
