Thank you! I knew you wouldn't let me down.

As far of Peanut butter goes, well if you just leave there long enough
it does melt enough to manage it......

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference


-Robert Frost

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is
an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,
the ocean does not become dirty. Mohandas K. Gandhi

This is worth repeating: submitted by "Sleeping Dragon"

"What does love looke like? It has the hands to help others. I has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has the eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like" ~Saint Augustine.

"Robert Frost is one of my personal favorites"

And were an epitaph to be my story I'd have a short one ready for my own.
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world. ~Robert Frost

I would really like to read some words to live by, other than what "I" post, by many great writers and poets!
Where or where are: "Sleeping Dragon", "Citizen starker", "Citizen CDay", "unckle fester", and many more?
