I just got this in an e-mail!The person,that sent it to me,has known me,for years.He thought of me because of my moral,that
I have always lived by:
A quitter never wins,& a winner never quits!
It also fits something,that my father told me.He said-Go out of your way,to be nice to people.If they screw with you,let them know that they screwed with someone. Irish
