Remembering
« on: October 27, 2020, 09:04:49 AM »

   For some reason this popped into my mind this morning:

   We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

   Mother Teresa

 
  So true. God bless Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa?  Hmmmm.

When I first saw that statement it was from the late 1800s and attributed to Konstantin Josef Jireček.  Maybe she quoted him.  Or maybe...

I thought Al Gore said it right after he invented the internet.

 Whoever was the originator doesn't matter to me.  It's the meaning.   I have always found it to be both humorous and in some cases, applicable.

 As for Mother Teresa. She is a true saint.

This popped into my tiny brain as I read this.
We had a cartoon hanging on the wall at our work site. The cartoon character had a giant screw through his chest.
And the caption was -
"Work with diligence, integrity, and honesty and you shall be rewarded.
 (not from Mother Teresa)
