    It summs up the dog

    [On one side of the pedestal supporting the urn containing Boatswain's remains, he had inscribed: ]

    Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity strength without insolence courage without ferocity and all the virtues of man without his vices This praise which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes is but a just tribute to the memory of Boatswain, a dog who was born at Newfoundland, may 1803, and died at Newstead Abbey, November 18, 1808.

    "I have discovered that every moment you devote to thinking about someone who has wronged you is a minute you have stolen from a much worthier pursuit: attracting those people who will help you."

    "You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." -- Woodrow Wilson

    "Every second you dwell on your past, you steal from your future. Every minute you spend focusing on your problems, you take away from finding your solutions."

    "Let us be kinder to one another." -- Aldous Huxley

    "Be the change that you wish to see most in your world." -- Gandhi

    These are all quotes taken from a book I recently made a thread about (the one on perspective). The author is Robin Sharma, the book is Who Will Cry When You Die? and it is full of gems like these. The ones that don't have a name after them are Robin Sharma's words.

    You know, that's always been a favorite of mine, but I'm realizing now it's not always applicable. I can handle people sarcastic with me, but not everyone can...so, I've tweaked it a little in some situations "treat others the way they want to be treated." But, for the most part, I love the Golden Rule.

    I have lots of ones I like, but this is one of my real favorites:

    Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. - Mark Twain

    While we are on Mark Twain,

    here is my favorite all time quote which is also by him!!! And Oh so true...

    "When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. When I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years".

    Watch your thoughts, they become words.
    Watch your words, they become actions.
    Watch your actions, they become habits.
    Watch your habits, they become character.
    Watch your character, they become destiny.
