Meanings Standing for what you believe in, Regardless of the odds against you, and the pressure that tears at your resistance, ...means courage Keeping a smile on your face, When inside you feel like dying, For the sake of supporting others, ...means strength Stopping at nothing, And doing what's in your heart, You know is right, ...means determination Doing more than is expected, To make another's life a little more bearable, Without uttering a single complaint, ...means compassion Helping a friend in need, No matter the time or effort, To the best of your ability, ...means loyalty Giving more than you have, And expecting nothing But nothing in return, ...means selflessness Holding your head high, And being the best you know you can be When life seems to fall apart at your feet, Facing each difficulty with the confidence That time will bring you better tomorrow's, And never giving up, ...means confidence.~ Oscar Wilde ~

Well, now and then, for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off and knock him flat. Slam him hard again the ground so hard, it seems like all of his insides is busted. It's not all like that. A lot of it's mighty fine. And you can't afford to waste the good part fretting about the bad. That makes it all bad. You understand what I'm trying to get at? ~ Jim Coates in "Old Yeller" ~
