"Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none." - Benjamin Franklin, Statesman

Hi there again, Bogdan. Love those quotes! Though not so sure about the one above. I'm more inclined toward ones like the few I've added below. "That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along." ~ Lisa Alther ~ "When someone's character seems impossible to fathom, observe his friends." ~ Japanese proverb ~ "The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." ~ Denis Watley ~ "When you're in your 90's and looking back, it's not going to be how much money you made or how many awards you've won. It's really ‘What did you stand for? Did you make a positive difference for people?'" ~ Elizabeth Dole ~ "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions." ~ Mark Twain ~ "Most people's lives are a direct reflection of their peer groups." ~ Anthony Robbins ~ Love from Thea

I like this one, Bogdan. Though I always try to practice kindness I sometimes fall short. As long as I try to remember to "treat others as we would like to be treated" I achieve the standard more often than not. Have a spectacular week. Carpe Diem, Joan

I like to say "treat all people how you would wish to be treated" that way you cant go wrong because nobody wants to be treated badly. I like your messages...keep em coming and may your day be blessed with success and kindness
