WISE & WHEREFORES

~ Believe in miracles but don't depend on them.

~ When you hear a kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so.

~ Spoil your spouse, not your children.

~ Remember, it's not your job to get people to like you, it's your job to like people.

~ To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.

~ Remember that the only dumb question is the one you wanted to ask but didn't.

H Jackson Brown Jr - Life's Little Instruction Book Volume III

One falsehood spoils a thousand truths : Ashanti Proverb from Ghana

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
