A fellow asked his friend why he never married.
The friend replied, "Well, I guess I just never met the right woman; I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."
"Oh, come on now," said the fellow. "Surely you have met at least one girl that you wanted to marry."
"Life is ten percent what happens to us and ninety percent how we respond to it."

A preacher and the president of a soap manufacturing company went for a walk together.
The president said, "What good is Christianity? Look at all the trouble and misery of the world! Still there, even after years, thousands of years, of teaching about goodness and truth and love and peace. Still there, after all the sermons and teachings. If Christianity is good and true, why should this be?"
"Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
The boss ordered one of his men to dig a hole eight feet deep. After the job was completed the boss returned and explained an error had been made and the hole wouldn't be needed.
"Fill 'er up," he ordered.
The worker did as he'd been told. But he ran into a problem. He couldn't get all the dirt packed back into the hole without leaving a mound on top. He went to the office and explained his problem.
The boss snorted, "Honestly! The kind of help you get these days! There's obviously only one thing to do. You'll have to dig that hole deeper!"
