When we fail to educate our selves with good literature, hard work, mutual respect for others, exercises in logical and critical thinking we make ourselves vulnerable to those forces that would use us as pawns in a game we stand to gain nothing and will most assuredly loose everything.

Wealth, in the hands of men of weak purpose, of deficient self-control, or of ill-regulated passions, is only a temptation and a snare—the source, it may be, of infinite mischief to themselves, and often to others. - Character by Samuel Smiles

The very effort to advance—to arrive at a higher standard of character than we have reached—is inspiring and invigorating; and even though we may fall short of it, we cannot fail to be improved by every, honest effort made in an upward direction. - Character by Samuel Smiles

Hug a loved one, make it a point to show appreciation for someone today. Don’t let a day go by without letting the ones you love know it. A grateful heart is a happy heart. 💕🙏🏼
