Ringo Starr, Leonardo Da Vinci, Charklemagne, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Jack the Ripper were all left-handers, southpaws. "Southpaws, sinistrals, port-siders, lefties. Editor H.L. Mencken traced the word southpaw to Chicago sportswriters int he late 19th center who used it while writing about the city's west-side ballpark. Pitchers faces west into the setting sun, so that their left arms were to the south." -Kiwanis Magazine
“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.
