Remarkable YOU

A few quotes I stumbled over today that made me smile.

Benjamin Franklin
  
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
(Amen!!!)

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
(When I have kids I want to hang this where I can see it to help remind me how to be an effective parent) 

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
(Second favorite of the day :) )
