Dunphy Dec 27, 2007No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.~ AesopIt is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.~ Andre GideTolerance is a better guarantee of freedom than brotherly love; for a man may love his brother so much that he feels himself thereby appointed his brother’s keeper.~ Everett Dean Martin Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
