Bernard has accumulated these quotes, sayings, and caveats, over the years; and he truly believes that if you live by them, you will be a good person and will end up "doing the right thing" every time!!!
Although the collection encompasses numerous subjects, there is a common theme woven throughout the book: "be a good and righteous person." The world is devoid of people who try to do the right thing every time!!! There is nothing unique or magical about this collection of quotes, sayings, and caveats, yet you will find few people that adhere to all of these good ideas every time!!!
Bernard is sure there are hundreds more one or two sentence caveats that contain the wisdom that make for a truly humane person. Why not collect them and add them to your list of "doing the right thing" every time!!!!
