quote about view of self

Thought for today, courtesy of American writer,
Jane Haddam:

"In my day, we didn't have self-esteem,

 

we had self-respect,

and no more of it than we had earned."

Important distinctions, no?

Quote of the day:

We have turned over care of the fatherless to the child welfare system. Widows are relegated to being cared for the Federal government for income, health care and food. The homeless, the drug users, the prostitutes are all problems for the police to handle. Keep them out of our way and more importantly keep them out of our sight. The last thing we want our kids to see on our way to church wearing our Sunday best is some bum or a hooker. We need to focus on worshipping Jesus, not on the downtrodden that probably deserve to be on the streets anyway.
