Mark Twain: It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
- Mark Twain
If you know it "for sure," it probably isn't truth to everyone else. We are most sure about those things to which we have given the least thought. If you KNOW that something is true without having ever questioned it, take the opportunity to consider the opinions of others with an open mind.

Finding Joy - a movie: I like this movie. It has soft music and great quotes, including Mary Anne Radmacher's courage quote. Yes, there is an ad at the end of the movie for Simple Truths' inspiring books, and you support this web site by buying them through this link. Click on the image to watch the movie.

Today is your day to dance lightly with life. It really is.

Play with life, laugh with life, dance lightly with life, and smile at the riddles of life, knowing that life’s only true lessons are writ small in the margin.
