Barry Bailey asked his mother how her friend was doing. “Son, she has been trying to die for years. Every time I see her or hear from her, she will say, ‘I'm so glad to see you Marguerite. I probably won't see you tomorrow because things are mighty bad. I don't know that I’ll be here.’ And then Bailey’s mother said, “If that woman ever worked as hard to live and she works to die, it’s amazing how she might have enjoyed life.” -Barry Baily
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
