Jim B sayings


 * I think life perhaps can be defined by our abilities and actions to share, aid, and abet the growth of our children to adulthood.


 * "Epitaph. "He knew too much, and recognized how ignorant he was.""


 * "I don't seek others to follow."


 * "Who your ancestors and relatives are, and whatever your life experiences, they have led to the wonderful person you are today."


 * Fall foliage in West Virginia. "We are to have beauty, before the beast, winter."


 * "Follow your pathways, do as you wish and want. The pathway to aging and death is inexorable."


 * " In a way, I wish no person to follow my pathways of thought and personal development. That comes with the realization that while "Life" may have purpose, "life", sadly, in all probability does not."

I gently tread, across the field, of time and life and death I dare not look from side to side, or slow my stately step For many more have come before, to search in vain to see Their spirit break their body shell, their soul set loose and free. And though my gaze be pure and straight, I can not help but know Of those who fell along the way, of dreams that do not show And though they did not make that trek, to be what they could be I'll make that trek across that field, for I'm not them, I'm me.
 * "The Burns motto, written by me."

In helping others, you help yourself. In loving others, you love yourself.
 * In educating others, you educate yourself.
