“Most of the things that I remember from childhood wouldn't make a particularly good story: rescuing worms during rainstorms, our schnauzer attacking a wheel of cheese when someone dropped it during dinner, my parents tricking us into riding Space Mountain at Disney World (we thought it was an educational people-mover kind of ride), playing Star Wars (I got to marry Harrison Ford and my sister married Luke Skywalker) in first and second grade. On the other hand, we always had lots of interesting babysitters--seminary students and friends of my parents--who told really good ghost stories.” PeopleWorldFirstsKindWarStoriesHandsRememberStarsParentSpaceInterestingChildhoodStudentsMountainMarriedEducationalDinnerGhostWheelsGradesMy SisterRidingCheeseWormsAttackingGood StoryLukeGhost StoriesBabysitterSeminaryRainstormsSchnauzers Author:Kelly Link
“There is a story of some mountains of salt in Cumana, which never diminished, though carried away in much abundance by merchants; but when once they were monopolized to the benefit of a private purse, then the salt decreased; till afterward all were allowed to take of it, when it had a new access and increase. The truth of this story may be uncertain, but the application is true; he that envies others the use of his gifts decays then, but he thrives most that is most diffusive.” MayStoriesUseMountainBenefitsIncreaseEnvyAccessGenerosityAbundanceThriveApplicationSaltDecayUncertainPursesMerchantsCarried Away Author:Herbert Spencer
