I saw that on G-mas's fridge today & loved it. Abe seems to always say good things.
I like a poem that says this {I had it memorized at one time}...
"If you were busy being kind, Before you knew it you would find You'd soon forget to think 'twas true That someone was unkind to you. If you were busy being glad And cheering people who seem sad, Although your heart might ache a bit, You'd soon forget to notice it. If you were busy being good, And doing just the best you could, You'd not have time to blame some man Who's doing just the best he can. If you were busy being true To what you know you ought to do, You'd be so busy you'd forget The blunders of the folks you've met. If you were busy being right, You'd find yourself too busy quite To criticize your brother long, Because he's busy being wrong."

"If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it you would find
You'd soon forget to think 'twas true That someone was unkind to you. If you were busy being glad
And cheering people who seem sad,
Although your heart might ache a bit, You'd soon forget to notice it. If you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some man Who's doing just the best he can. If you were busy being true
To what you know you ought to do,
You'd be so busy you'd forget
The blunders of the folks you've met. If you were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy quite
To criticize your brother long,
Because he's busy being wrong."
