Remember, when you point your finger accusingly at someone else, you have three
fingers pointing at yourself.
A hundred mistakes are an education if you learn
something from each one.
When looking for faults, use a mirror, not a telescope!
Handicaps
are given to ordinary people to help them to become extraordinary.
You can't
leave your footprints on the sands of time while sitting down.
If all else
fails, try following directions.
God gave us two ends. One to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on
which one you use;
heads you win--tails, you lose
There's an old saying,
"Erasers are for people who make errors." A better expression is,
"Erasers
are for people who are willing to correct their mistakes!"
The main difference
between the wise man and a fool is that a fool's mistakes never teach him anything.
The
trouble with letting off steam is-- it only gets you into more hot water.
Our
strength is shown in the things we stand for; our weakness is shown in the things
we fall for.
What lies behind us or before us -- are tiny matters compared
with what lies in us
You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile.
"Be kinder than necessary."
"Don't forget, a person's greatest
emotional need is to feel appreciated."
"Never waste an opportunity
to tell someone that you love them."
"Never underestimate the power
of a kind word or deed."
"The right road is not always the easiest
road."
"Be yourself, an original is always better than a copy."
"Wisdom
comes more from living than from studying."
"We all take different
paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other."
"Think
things through, life doesn't have an undo button."
"Make it a habit to do nice things for people who'll never find out."
"Learn
to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly."
"Never deprive
someone of hope; it might be all they have."
The Perfect Poem
I have a spelling checker, It came with my PC; It plainly
marks four my revue, Mistakes I cannot sea. I've run this poem threw it, I'm sure
your please to no, Its letter perfect in it's weigh, My checker tolled me sew.

QUOTES TO LIVE BY
"Never give
up on anybody. Miracles happen every day"
"Be brave. Even if you're
not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference."
"Think big
thoughts, but relish small pleasures."
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I
might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I
was given infirmity, that I might do better things …
I asked for riches, that
I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise …
I asked for power,
that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the
need of God…
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life,
that I might enjoy all things …
I got nothing I asked for but everything I
hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were
Answered. I am,
among men, most richly blessed!
