Those are great quotes, thank you for sharing those.
Love those quotes. I think one of my favorites is the one by Emily Post. Talk to you soon.
Love Me
great quotes, and all so true.
Thanks for sharing. They are all so true. Especially the ones about acts of kindness. It is often said that people are nicer to strangers than to those we love and it is so true.
I should post these in my classroom. I'm amazed at how rude some students are to one another AND to me.
Speaking of manners...I was grocery shopping today and was loading up my car. There was an employee of the store in the parking lot picking up carts. He stood right by my car until I had finished and then rolled the cart away...I think he thought he was doing me a favor. Apparently it didn't even occur to him to help me unload the cart into my car!
