Thanksgiving
Quotes Selected or Written by Friends of the TLT Group
“My
favorite Thanksgiving food is hmmm...It is so hard to
narrow it down. Really it is the sum of all of the
parts. Although I am not wild about turkey. It is
really about all of the sides and the company. The
spirit of the event and the family and friends. My
family is pretty much all about food, so this is a great
holiday for us. Not as stressful as Christmas.” -- Jane
Megginson, Baltimore Yearly Meeting, Email msg 11/25/02
"In seedtime, learn.
In harvest, teach.
In winter, enjoy." -- William Blake
From

"My grandfather told me that there were two kinds of
people: those who did the work and those who took credit for
it. He urged me to try to me among
the first group; it was much less likely to be crowded
there." --Indira
Gandhi
"The issue of connectedness cannot be overstated...I
believe it to be one of the central problems of our time.
Whatever we can do to build connections
would be important work indeed. I think often these days
about the people of the DC
area and the current assault on their well-being
by that sniper---the damage to community trust and a
sense of
connection could be one way to think of it. Another is that
this assault may
be able to bring people together through their
connection to a
common fear. What makes it possible for some to view this one
way (or the other)? What kinds of things enable people to have
the strength to see the fear and respond by strengthening
connections rather than the apparently reasonable response of
isolating oneself from others?" -- Gary Wheeler, Miami Univ. of
Ohio, October, 2002
"As
we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we
should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any
Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and
generously." -- Ben Franklin
