“In April, I asked my staff to determine if Senate rules and relevant laws would allow me to direct the trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock. In May, my staff worked with outside counsel and with the Senate ethics committee staff to draft a written communication to the trustees. After obtaining pre-approval by mid-June from the Senate ethics committee, I issued a letter directing my trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock in my family's trust.” IfsMayLawWrittenCommunicationEthicsDirectMy FamilyLettersSellsDetermineRelevantSenateApprovalStaffCommitteesJuneAprilObtainingTrustees Author:Bill Frist
“Everyday, the mail brings the thousands of letters, and you hand over to Me personally hundreds more. Yet, I do not take the help of anyone else, even to open the envelopes. For, you write to me intimate details of your personal problems, believing that I alone will read them and having implicit confidence in Me. You write, each one only a single letter, that makes for Me a huge bundle a day; and I have to go through all of them. You may ask how I manage it? Well I do not waste a single moment.” WritingBelieveWellsMayMomentsHelpingProblemHandsAsksHugeWasteLettersEverydayDetailsManageIntimateMailSingle MomEnvelopesBundlesImplicitPersonal Problems Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“HONOR. This means that a girl is not satisfied with keeping the letter of the law when she really breaks it in spirit. LOYAL. This means that she is true to her country, to the city or village where she is a citizen, to her family, her church, her school, and those for whom she may work or who may work for her. HELPFUL. The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker. This is the spirit that makes the older Scout into a fine, useful, dependable woman.” WayMayMeanCountrySchoolLawYoungSpiritTurnsGirlChurchCitiesBreakFineCitizensHonorLettersSatisfiedHelpfulVillageLoyalSimplestGiverDependable Author:Juliette Gordon Low
“Honest rejection of Christ, however mistaken, will be forgiven and healed ... but to evade the Son of Man, to look the other way, to pretend you haven't noticed, to become suddenly absorbed in something on the other side of the street, to leave the receiver off the telephone because it might be He who was ringing up, to leave unopened certain letters in a strange handwriting because they might be from Him -- this is a different matter. You may not be certain yet whether you ought to be a Christian; but you do know you ought to be a Man, not an ostrich, hiding its head in the sand.” KnowsMenWayLooksMayDifferentMatterMightChristianCertainSidesChristStreetsHonestHavensStrangeSonOughtLettersRejectionSandHidingMistakenForgivenTelephonesBe A ManHealedReceiverHandwritingOstriches Author:C.

“The Bible is a warm letter of affection from a parent to a child; and yet there are many who see chiefly the severer passages. As there may be fifty or sixty nights of gentle dews in one summer, that will not cause as much remark as one hailstorm of half an hour, so there are those who are more struck by those passages of the Bible that announce the indignation of God than by those that announce His affection.” MayChildrenNightCausesParentHoursHalfSummerBibleLettersAffectionWarmGentleFiftyPassagesSixtyRemarksDewIndignationHailstorms Book:Sermons Source: Sermons
“Dean Burk, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute (head of their Cytochemistry Section and 32-year veteran at the agency) declared in a (May 30,1972) letter to (congressman Louis Frey, Jr.) that high officials of the FDA, AMA and ACS (American Cancer Society), were deliberately falsifying information, literally lying...and in other ways thwarting potential cancer cures to which they were opposed.” WayYearsMayLyingInformationLettersCancerCuresAgencyOfficialsSectionsVeteranInstituteDeanCongressmanFdaPhdsCancer CureAmerican Cancer Society Author:Barry Lynes
