WORDS
OF WISDOM
ACCUMULATED ALONG THE WAY He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. The worse thing that happens to you sometimes turns out to be the best thing. Intelligence is a poor cousin to understanding. In every contest, more games and more points are lost by the loser than won by the winner. Sometimes the skin of the truth is stuffed with a lie in order to find followers. Nothing is wrong one hundred percent. Even a clock that has stopped is right twice a day. There isn't any map on the road to success; you have to find your own way. Today is tomorrow you worried about yesterday. A lie has no legs. It requires other lies to support it. Tell one lie and you are forced to tell others to back it up. If your out go exceeds your income, then your upkeep will be your downfall. Ideas are funny little things. They won't work unless you do. Don't say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few. Study a situation first before you jump in. By studying first, you increase your chance for success. Trouble is opportunity in work clothes. If you never stick your neck out, you'll never get your head above the crowd. Have patience — in time even grass becomes milk. Meditation or medication? Everything has been thought of before…the difficulty is to think of it again. We always have time enough if we use it right. To be content with little is difficult. To be content with much is impossible. A minute of thought is worth an hour of talk. When you through the first punch, you're admitting that you've run out of ideas. A person's best fortune, or their worst, is marriage. Whoever resigns himself to fate will find that fate accepts his resignation. We can do anything we want if we stick to it long enough. When you're through changing, you're through. Expect only what happens in a fight, that way you'll never be surprised. The secret of patience is to do something else in the meantime. The hand that lifts the cup that cheers should not be used to shift the gears. Sometimes the best gain is to lose. If you don't climb the mountain you can't see the view. Laziness travels so slow that poverty soon overtakes him. A man's difficulties begin when he is able to do as he pleases. A soft answer turns away wrath - this is the best system of self-defense. Life is hard by the yard, but by the inch it's a cinch. Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get. Tact is the unsaid part of what you think. He didn't know it couldn't be done, then went ahead and did it. You can't control the length of your life but you can control it's width and depth. You can't control the contour of your face but you can control its expression. You can't control the weather, but you can control the atmosphere of your mind. Why worry about the things you can't control when you can keep busy controlling the thing that depend on you. People believe what they want to believe despite all the evidence to the contrary. Rudeness is the weak mans imitation of strength. Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing. What a fool does in the end, a wise man does in the beginning. It is difficult to live in the present, pointless to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. In any controversy, the instant we feel anger, we cease striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. * * * RETURN TO MAIN INSPIRATION PAGE * * * |
