One
can never tell what will be the result of faithful service rendered, nor
do we know when it will come back to us or to those with whom we are
associated. The reward may not come at the time, but in dividends later.
I believe we will never lose anything in life by giving service, by
making sacrifices, and doing the right thing.
(22 Nov 1856 - 14 May 1945)

From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/14/18:
| A tourist parked his car in
downtown Washington, D.C. He said to a man standing near the curb,
"Listen, I'm going to be only a couple of minutes. Would you watch my
car while I run into this store?" "What?" the man huffed. "Do you realize that I am a member of the United States Congress?" "Well, no," the tourist said, "I didn't realize that. But it's all right. I'll trust you anyway." |
