    Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

    The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

    Life isn't a destination--it is a journey,
    We all come upon unexpected curves
    and turning points, mountaintops and valleys.
    Everything that happens to us
    shapes who we are becoming.
    And in the adventure of each day,
    we discover the best in ourselves.--Author Unkown

    not a destination; and happiness
    is not "there" but here;

    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body. But rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,

    "WOW! What a Ride!"

    One furnace melts all hearts -
    love;

    One balm soothes all pain -
    patience;

    One medicine cures all ills -
    time;

    One light illuminates all darkness -
    hope.

    CHANISMS BY CHARLIE CHAN

    "Questions are keys to door of truth."

    "Humbly suggest not to judge wine by barrel it is in."

    " When friend asks,friend gives."

    "Everyman must wear out at least one pair of fool's shoes."

    "When doing good deed, remember kind-hearted elephant who tried to help hen hatch chicks."


    Charlie Chan has cast a portly shadow across the world of detective fiction since his creation in 1925.He was the brain child of a novelist and playwright from Warren , Ohio , named Earl Derr Biggers,Biggers died in 1933. As Chan says, "Impossible to miss someone who will always be in heart."
