Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance. I just started paying attention to these quotes and they are making an impact on me. Maybe its because I am in a thoughtful mood. This is the 2nd in a row that has an awful lot to say about people, things, etc,. There are so many books and probably references going back before The Power of Positive Thinking for this quote. Does anyone have a favorite book or experience that reflects this quote? Frank C.

"Do you want to be 'right' or do you want to be rich?" "Just because you're right doesn't mean you need to say anything"! Many times when we feel the need to reinforce the fact that we are right is simply the selfish motive to show that we are "superior" to the individual we are dealing with. My happiness isn't dependant upon how someone else sees me. "Happiness is not dependant upon happenstance."
