I had this quote sent to me and thought it explains a lot about some of societies problems.

" The trouble with most of us
is that we would rather be
ruined by praise than
saved by criticism."
Norman Vincent Peale

Excellent quote and true.

How about this one:

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
~ Theodore Roosevelt ~

I prefer this one: EVEN A WORM CAN LEARN .

I liked it so much that my wife crosstitched it into a sampler for me that now hangs on the wall of my office at work . The author of the quote , BTW , was me . It helps remind me that I'm not always as smart as I'd like to think I am .
