Result Navigation: [ 1 | 2 ] A child does not have to be taught how to be happy or the ways of love. It is fear, hatred, and prejudice that have to be taught. And from the condition of the world we can see that unfortunately there are some very good teachers.  -- Javan

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. -- Abraham Lincoln
