Time, Time, Ticking, Ticking Away . . .

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow." You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running!! Make the most of today.

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who just missed a train.
To realize the value of one second, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who won a silver medal at the olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.
-Ivan Minic

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

He who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more;

He, who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others.

You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Friends, you and me.... You brought another friend.... And then there were 3....

We started our group.... Our circle of friends.... And like that circle....

There is no beginning or end....

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present."

- Eleanor Roosevelt
