PUBLIC OPINION, Harold Hunt We spend too much time worrying about what people think about us. But most of those people you worry so much about will not even come to see you off, when you leave this old world. I have noticed that, if you want somebody to attend your funeral, it works out best if manage to die about Thursday or Friday. That way, they can bury you on the weekend. hlh

I have heard that there are three ages of man. At twenty a man does not care what people think of him. At forty he does care what people think of him. And at sixty he finds out that nobody was thinking about him. hlh

In 1885, Sylvester Hassell published the best church history that we have any access to. I don’t believe it will ever be surpassed. When his youngest son died several years ago, the minister who preached his funeral mentioned the book his father had written. Some of Elder Hassell’s own grandchildren had never even heard of the book. hlh
