Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
George Washington

There is a set of religious, or rather moral, writings which teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.
Francois Fenelon

Which of the above quotes do you agree with? Why? Can you think of an experience in your past that led you to think this way?

Hi Jane Ann:

I wish I had visited your website sooner! It's quite interesting. I just read the Memoir piece about the accident. I felt I there with you--no "in" you. Great writing. Thought I'd put my comment here because I have a "postcard" that says how I feel. People may quote the old maxim: "Virtue is it's own reward." Harrumph. Let me see if I can forward the e-mail and pix related to that old saying. Hugs, Judee
