Any words of wisdom? Do you feel friendly or care to share?

Question

What is your favorite of sayings, quotes or words of wisdom. Do you care to share a lesson learned?
My mom used to say "Life is not a bowl of cherries" because I'm always happy. (Joy of the Lord, thanks be to God) My favorite mantra is "What ever Jesus wants" because I've tried it my way. What do find yourself always saying or referring to? Much appreciated! Oh and uh,
"Jesus Saves" - Hey, another favorite saying! Well, they just come up all over the place!- Don't they...

*If at first you don't succeed, dust your self off and try again.
**Blondes have more fun!
***An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.

Yea! Donna! That's one of my favorites!
-Thank you!

"Tomorrow will be a better day!" -or-
"Well, look on the brighter side, things can't get much worse..."

THE BEST EVER... "You reap what you sow and God will not be mocked!"-Jesus

Answer 1

It's kind of corny, but I still like "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

I wrote myself a saying a few years when I needed to encourage myself. Here it is:

"You are your own best resource. You cannot borrow another's brains, talents or luck. God wants YOU to MAKE IT HAPPEN."

Thanks for a good question.

Answer 2

You could go on thinking an imaginary person real flesh and blood likewise and be none the wiser. Courage is a small stream one must cross over but wisdom is an impetuating preoccupation.
Blackheat Art 1986

You gain courage in one step, but wisdom is something that continues to happen with every step you take. So continue to walk and grow wiser with each step.

Proverbs 14:33
Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.

Man is a Religious Animal. Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn’t straight.

~ Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth

Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people.

~ Adolf Hitler (an avowed Roman Catholic), April 26, 1933
