Kimo's rules

While visiting the beautiful Island of Kauai about 10 years ago, I discovered this saying on a T-shirt, I copied it and have loved it every since

Kimo's Hawaiian Rules:
1) Never judge a day by the weather.
2) The best things in life aren't things.
3) Tell the truth - there's less to remember.
4) Speak softly and wear a loud shirt.
5) Goals are deceptive - the unaimed arrow never misses.
6) He who dies with the most toys - still dies.
7) Age is relative - when you're over the hill, you pick up speed.
8) There are 2 ways to be rich - make more or desire less.
9) Beauty is internal - looks mean nothing.
10) No Rain - No Rainbows.

I love Quotes and the wisdom that they impart.
In my blog I have decide to post some of my favorite quotes
about various things. I hope you will enjoy them and send some of your favorite quotes to me too.
I know you think you should
make a trip to Calcutta,
but I strongly advise you to save your
airfare and spend it on the poor in your
own country. It's easy to love people far away.
It's not always easy to love those who live right
next to us. There are thousands of people
dying for a bit of bread, but there are thousands
more dying for a bit of love or a bit of acknowledgement.
The truth is that the worst disease today is not
leprosy or tuberculosis; it's being unwanted,
it's being left out, it's being forgotten.~~ Mother Teresa
