An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me…It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied…“The one I feed.” — Anonymous

I hate the picture of the snake! but like all the others! - especially the petunia one (at least, I believe it's a petunia) and the one with the flower on the Bible. And I "love" that quote from Obama...Since leaving quotes seems to be the theme for this post - I'll give you one of my favorites -
