"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through it."

-Lyndon B. Johnson

My mom was a Home Economics teacher from 1951 to 1993. She passed in 2022. Recently I have been going thru her old (handwritten) cookbooks. She had one, the "black book" that held her favorite recipes, old family recipes, etc. I was reading thru it tonight, and mixed in were several pages where she wrote down various quotes or random thoughts. This is one of my favorites:

Stand up so they can see you.
Speak up so they can hear you.
Shut up so they'll ask you back!!
