Diplomacy: the art of jumping into trouble without making a splash.
better-days finished products
A finished product is one that has already seen its better days.
meaningful real giving
The only meaningful contact is one that involves a genuine, giving personal interaction. You may want another person to help you in business, but you must also be willing to help him and to spend time getting to know his interests and needs... It has to be real and heartfelt, or it's best not to try to establish the relationship at all.

I stand fearlessly for small dogs, the American Flag, motherhood and the Bible. That's why people love me.
jobs pay depth
The depths of the Depression. You didn't ask what the job was, what the pay was, you didn't ask about stock options, or - you said yes
thinking matter today
I like what I'm doing. Today at 88, I wouldn't think of quitting because I can't think of anything else I would rather do. And now with my lectures on all the charitable things that I do, just as you do, I think that what I'm doing matters

My age now, like my age 20 years ago, marks the year in which I was born. That's all.

I eat a lowfat diet, think positively, get exercise every day.
fun accomplishment curiosity
Being alive at 87 is quite an accomplishment if you're curious, interested, seeing the fun out of life, doing things, having a purpose.

And keep a sense of humor. It doesn't mean you have to tell jokes. If you can't think of anything else, when you're my age, take off your clothes and walk in front of a mirror. I guarantee you'll get a laugh.
philosophy people golden
My philosophy is to do the best you can for somebody. Help. It's not just what do you for yourself. It's how you treat people decently. The golden rule. There isn't big anything better than the golden rule. It's in every major religion in one language or another.
inspirational trying ifs
If anything is worth trying at all, it's worth trying at least 10 times.
kids marijuana empathy
Sometimes I'm asked by kids why I condemn marijuana when I haven't tried it. The greatest obstetricians in the world have never been pregnant.
time war thinking
A preacher was operated on for a hernia. As this was about the time of the first world war he was given ether. As he was coming out of the anesthetic a fire broke out in the building next door. As the flames began to show through the hospital windows the nurse pulled the shades down. She didn't want the preacher to think his operation had been a failure.
