"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships."

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Oh well, I was looking into what I wanted to post as my quote for Sunday. But I'll post it now. Oh, I know it is a simple formula, but it works.

" Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
