Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Thanks we could split a billion dollars on appeal. My husband currently and the first one were both attorneys. We talk the talk and walk the walk. Ha!

Well well! We're birds of a feather!! My late husband was an attorney too! And I was a Legal Secretary and then promoted to Office Supervisor with 125 Legal secretaries and 85 lawyers to look after. I loved it.

My current husband was Lead Councel for Slumberjey (SP?) and traveled with world and had over 100 attorneys reporting to him. He is a fine "gentleman", honorable, kind, generous et al.

Your husband sounds lovely...and brilliant too.

@artist01 and @olderdiva12345 you both have hilarious senses of humor! You are like two happy legal eagles.
Which reminds of the friendly law adage:
Old lawyers never die. They just lose their appeal.
