Page 3 ... The world alters as we walk in it ... Be kind ... Remember everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. It never ceases to amaze me that the exact same reality can become a heaven or a hell, based on how I view things and what I do about them. The past of itself can have no power over us that we will not allow it to have. We learn from the past. We learn by our mistakes and by our accomplishments. Each generation of the human family builds on the accomplishments of the past and then surpasses them. Man has taken years and years to get where he is, and there is no limit to where or how much further he can go. But we do not advance by living in the past. Only by using it as a stepping stone can we go forward (Author unknown). Nothing is so strong as real gentleness ... Nothing is so gentle as real strength. Talents differ but all are important ... The squirrel cannot carry forests on its back, but the mountain cannot crack a nut. The seed of success is dormant In every defeat that is experienced ... The difference between playing to win and playing to lose is the difference between success and mediocrity. Live in the present, grow in the present. Realize that the present is all you have to work with ... But do not ignore the past or the future, for today's business may be related to them. Experience is the name everyone gives to mistakes (Harry Wilkins, Jr.). The mother of conflict is the illusion of diversity. The body is simply something which carries the mind around ... Keep your face to the sunshine ... And you cannot see the shadow. This very moment is a seed ... From which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness may grow ... The greatest of all pleasures is the pleasure of giving pleasure. My pain is breaking the shell that surrounds me as I burst into freedom. We all stumble and fall sometimes. It's how we are able to get up and stand that counts. There is nothing more puzzling than unexplained fact. There is only one success ... To be able to spend your life in your own way (Harry Wilkins, Jr.). Everything in life has comparative values, and values change depending on circumstances (Grace Michael). Somehow the end of a rainbow always fades away when we approach it. If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom in your hands? (Kahlil Gibran). When you're at the end of your rope, Tie a knot in it and hang on! Never look down on anyone. Only God can sit that high. If I had a single flower for every time I thought about you, I could walk in my garden forever ... Patience is Love on the anvil, bearing blows of suffering. Zeal is Love in he harvest field, never tiring of toil. Meekness is Love in company, vaunting not itself. Perseverance is Love on a journey, pressing to the end. Joy is Love making its own sunshine. Power is Love driving the soul's chariot wheels over old opposition. Gentleness is Love in her own sweet voice and manner. (Harry Wilkins, Jr., Jan. 12, 1980) No person, place, or thing is ever really dead as long as they are remembered. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me, and just be my friend (Camus) All of the flowers of all your tomorrows are in the seeds of today! Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. If we can't be thankful for what we receive, We should be thankful for what we have escaped. We work to become, not to acquire (Harry Wilkins, Jr.). Chance favors the prepared mind. The best way out of a difficulty is through it. Success is a matter of not quitting. Failure is a matter of giving up too soon. The cruelest lies are often told in silence ... Some think it's holding on that makes one strong. Sometimes it's letting go ... Strength is endurance found through trust in the goodness from your heart (Harry Wilkins, Jr.). When money speaks ... the truth is silent.
