Children seem to have
the best definitions...
"Love is that first feeling you get
before all the bad stuff gets in
the way."
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume
and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other."
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee
for my daddy and she takes a sip
before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is ok."
"Love is when someone hurts you.
And you get so mad but you don't
yell at him because you know it
would hurt his feelings."
"Love is what's in the room with you
at Christmas if you stop opening
presents for a minute and look around."
"Love is like a little old woman and a
little old man who are still friends even
after they know each other so well."
"I know my older sister loves me
because she gives me all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy
new ones."
"You have to fall in love before you
get married. Then when you're
married, you just sit around and
read books together."
"Love is when mommy sees daddy on
the toilet and she doesn't think it's
gross."
"When you love somebody, your
eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you."
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,then he wears it
everyday."
"When you're born and see your mommy
for the first time. That's love."
"When my grandmother got arthritis,
she couldn't bend over and paint
her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her
all the time, even when his hands
got arthritis too. That's love."

soul with evil."

and drink only to live."

I know nothing."

Principles
for better government...
Y
ou cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
Y
ou cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
Y
ou cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage
payer down.
Y
ou cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class
hatred.
Y
ou cannot build character and courage by taking away
people's initiative and independence.
Y
ou cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what
they could and should do for themselves.
....William Boetcker
