One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. :cry:
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said….. “Then I thank you from my heart.”
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Year’s later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly ! was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words….. “Paid in full with one glass of milk”
Signed Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.”

Sanjay, a rich guy, loved fast cars and he did have a few in his
possession. He loved to speed and could not be bothered about breaking speed
limits.
Many a times he was caught by the cops and speed radars,
fined, but still he never bothered until.
One day as he was driving at a very high speed as usual, he saw a cop
following him.
The cop overtook him finally and asked him to stop and checked his license.
He then took out his pad and started Writing,
and then handed over the sheet of paper to Sanjay.How much was this one
going to cost ?!!!Wait a minute.
What was this? Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket.Sanjay began to
read:
'Dear Sanjay,
Once upon a time I had a lovely daughter.
She was six when killed by a car.You guessed it – a speeding driver's car.
A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free.
Free to hug his three daughters.I only had one, and I'm going to have to
wait until Heaven,before I can ever hug her again.A thousand times I've
tried to forgive that man.
A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did,
but I need to do it again. Even now.
Pray for me.. And be careful, Sanjay, my son is all I have left.' Sanjay
turned around in time to see the cop's car pull away andhead down the road.
He watched until it disappeared.
A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home,
praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he
arrived.
Life is precious. Handle it with care.
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?"asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists,would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?"asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber.And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
Confession is the next best thing to innocence.
The intention makes the lie, not the words.
A lie would have no sense unless the truth was felt dangerous.
Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it is outraged by silence.
The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
The simple act of any ordinary courageous man is not to take part, not to support lies!
Speak the truth and shame the devil.
The great enemy of truth is often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth -persistent, persuasive, and realistic. Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears.
The history of the race, and each individual’s experiences, are thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and a lie told well is immortal.
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics.
When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king.
Lies – there you have the religion of slaves and taskmasters. Truth is the god of the free man.
The world wants to be betrayed.
What hope is there when people, even in front of the evidence, turn their head?
Lying is an elementary means of self-defense.
But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind … a man’s true autobiography is almost an impossibility…man is bound to lie about himself.
No one can tell the whole truth about himself. It is not only vanity that has prevented those who have tried to reveal themselves to the world from telling the whole truth, it is the direction of interest; their disappointment with themselves, their surprise that they can do things that seem to them abnormal, make them place too great an emphasis on occurrences that are more common than they suppose.
The easiest person to deceive is one’s self.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
You can deceive those better than you but not your peers.
