The line about Grover Cleveland being
the only President who was married
while in office reminds me of a story
about the President and the First Lady
(the story is, perhaps, apocryphal).
Seems Mrs. Cleveland woke the President
one night not long after the wedding
with these words:
"GROVER! There are burglars in the
house!"
The President, being sleepy mumbled,
"No, no Dear. In the SENATE, perhaps,
but not in the House!"
Grace and peace,
Douglas

Good Thoughts
Where words
leave off....music begins.
Heinrich Heine
What you can
do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius,
power and magic
in it.
Johann
von Goethe
Ordinary
riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In
your soul are
infinitely precious things that
cannot be
taken from you.
Oscar Wilde
Inspirational Reading by Steve Goodier
WHEN THE
WORLD SAYS, "NO!"
When Henry
Ward Beecher was a young boy in school, he
learned a
lesson in self-confidence, which he never forgot. He was
called upon
to recite in front of the class. He had hardly begun when
the teacher
interrupted with an emphatic, "No!" He started over and
again the
teacher thundered, "No!" Humiliated, Henry sat down.
The next boy
rose to recite and had just begun when the
teacher
shouted, "No!" This student, however, kept on with the
recitation
until he completed it. As he sat down, the teacher
responded,
"Very good!"
Henry was
irritated. "I recited just as he did," he
complained to
the teacher.
But the
instructor replied, "It is not enough to know your
lesson, you
must be sure. When you allowed me to stop you, it meant
that you were
uncertain. If all the world says, `No!' it is your
business to
say, `Yes!' and prove it."
The world
says, "No!" in a thousand ways:
"No! You
can't do that."
"No! You are
wrong."
"No! You are
too old."
"No! You are
too young."
"No! You are
too weak."
"No! It will
never work."
"No! You
don't have the education."
"No! You
don't have the background."
"No! You
don't have the money."
"No! It can't
be done."
And each
"No!" you hear has the potential to erode your
confidence
bit by bit until you quit altogether. Though the world
says, "No!"
to you today, will you determine to say, "Yes!" and prove
it?
