Words of Wisdom

Nature and wisdom never are at strife.
Plutarch

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.

The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.

Years teach us more than books.

The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs,
which are brief and pithy.

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies." -- Gene Hill

~~~~~

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

~~~~~

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

~~~~~

Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.

~~~~~

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy, and enough money to buy gifts!!

~~~~~

When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Successful

Most of the people believe that they just can't achieve great success because they don't have what it takes, or because they're not educated enough! They complain that luck is never on their side or that they weren't born to be successful, or even that they are too poor to ever even think about being something else! You know what? You don't need luck or any diploma to accomplish the success you deserve. You just need faith. Faith that you will indeed be successful, faith that you have all that it takes to make it to the top! You have to BELIEVE that YOU ARE the most successful person you ever met. If you don't believe in yourself, who on earth do you think will?

hope

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. [1] To hope is to wish for something with the expectation of the wish being fulfilled, a key condition in unrequited love. [2] Hopefulness is somewhat different from optimism in that hope is an emotional state, whereas optimism is a conclusion reached through a deliberate thought pattern that leads to a positive attitude
