Good Thoughts

I was reading a book by Roald Dahl (He wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.) to my 6 yo. and this qoute was in the book. I feel there is a lot of truth to it and decided to add it to the files of my brain.

"If a person has ugly thoughts it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.

"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."
-Roald Dahl

Memorization #2

Here is one by Edwin Markham

"He drew a circle that shut me out-
heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win.
We drew a circle that took him in."
