Word of Wisdom

I have early cases today. All southbound, still debating ferry or bridge to cross the water  to my first location. Meantime, I want to to leave some wisdom in my wake. Though these words are not my own...  they've become a part of my life. And the way I want live it. To those who've never heard them, consider embracing them. They soften life's rough edges.

"Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give."

William Arthur Ward
