Once upon a time a grandmother went to the movies with some of her children. She discovered that she could learn something…..that something made her want to share it with her family and others.Have you ever read a book that gave you a new way of thinking about an idea? A book can do this.
1. A “hero” does not appear until the world needs one.
2. I am a gentlewoman. I am a gentleman. I am a princess.
3. Live by a code of honor.
4. Who are you? Do you know?
5. Some hate light and would prefer to spend their time in darkness.
6. Some cannot even tell the truth.
7. You don’t need to have shame.
8. Remember honor, justice and always tell the truth.
9. There are all kinds of princesses. Some are born that way. Others marry into it. All little girls long to be princesses.
10. Think about this one wrong cause a terrible sadness.
11. When someone is hurt terribly, they will often look for someone else to blame.
12. Some have longing…..
13. Hope means your nobody’s prisoner.
14. Change will come……it is not long now, you’ll see.
15. I’m sorry….those tender words can heal a broken heart.
A book can teach us….A film can teach us….We are never too old to learn…What a wonderful opportunity to look for a better way to face our unknowns. There is nothing to really be afraid of after all.
