SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....

 




A wise man learns by the mistakes of others,
a fool by his own.

Latin Proverb

Silence does not always mark wisdom.

Not to know at large of things remote
From use, obscure and subtle, but to know
That which before us lies in daily life,
Is the prime wisdom.

By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself.
Menander

The seat of knowledge is in the head, of wisdom,
in the heart.

In every rill a sweet instruction flows.

The man of wisdom is never of two minds;
the man of benevolence never worries;
the man of courage is never afraid.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts. Charles Dickens


Beauty is strangely various. There is the beauty of light and joy and strength exulting; but there is also the beauty of shade, of sorrow and sadness, and of humility oppressed. Arnold Bennett



You may be one person to the world but you may also be the world to one person. Audrey Hepburn



Outer beauty is a gift. Inner beauty is an accomplishment. Randi G. Fine

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
