Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.”

and years will be added to your life…
By wisdom a house is built, by understanding it is established; And by knowledge the rooms are filled with all
precious and pleasant riches.”

“Why would I pay a bunch of industry pricks to manage my hard-earned money? They don’t have any loyalty to me. We have never looked each other in the eye. They only care about what’s gonna make them a buck. No, I don’t trust 'em. I don’t trust 'em one bit wid my money.”

“Mr. B used to take the Denver Post and clip coupons in his sunny dining room till he said he 'got fed up with having to pay for it.' Now, he clips coupons from the library’s newspaper copy.

“The rain is letting up, Mr. B. What do you want to do?'
'Oh, I’m gonna go fix the Weed Eater, and then, I’m gonna do dog patrol. At 97, I gotta find ways to keep moving!' He pushes himself up from the table. 'See ya later, kiddo.'
Joe has decided to get fit. Every day he hops onto our stationary bike that we left sitting on the back porch. He says it helps his balance. He times himself to ensure he rides it ten minutes a day. I bring him a glass of cool water to keep him hydrated. He refuses the water. 'I’m not used to drinking water, Miss.' His exercise routine would never be approved by a local gym.”
