  3. A mother bathing her baby.
     
  4. A doctor who has finished a difficult operation and saved a life.

• It is my observation that too many of us are spending money we haven't earned, to buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like.

• "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condem not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
