Quotes to live by

Albert Einstein: "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." To me this quote means the right thing to do is always there but isn't clear until your eighteen years old. Being an adult has nothing to do with what you can and cannot do it simply has to do with what you choose to do. making choices are always there. Making the right choice has to be backed up with knowledge and personnality. I chose to help Gretchen Lutterman because I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do. I didn't do it for money, awards, or fame. I did it for Gretchen.

Anthony J. D'Angelo: "Treasure your relationships, not your possessions." I dont have a lot of money or a car, but what i do have is family and friends. The people in my life are all very signifidant in one way or another. You cant put a price on friendship, or love. So I dont need money, and as far as a car goes I got the streetcars to take me wherever I desire.

Erma Bombeck: "Laughter rises out of tragedy, when you need it the most, and rewards you for your courage." I think the number one cure for anything is laughter. It's there in the darkest time. I liked to make Gretchen laugh. Even though it made her uncomfortable it was nice to see the life in her. The courage she gave me helped her in the end.
