\nBy Andy Rooney <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned\u2026. the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. when you\u2019re in love, it shows.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. just one person saying to me, \u2018You\u2019ve made my day!\u2019 makes my day.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. being kind is more important than being right.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. you should never say no to a gift from a child.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. I can always pray for someone when I don\u2019t have the strength to help him in some other way.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. we should be glad God doesn\u2019t give us everything we ask for.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. money doesn\u2019t buy class.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. it\u2019s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. under everyone\u2019s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. to ignore the facts does not change the facts.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. love, not time, heals all wounds.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. life is tough, but I\u2019m tougher.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve learned\u2026. everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you\u2019re climbing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

smiles,<\/span>
