Golden Words ~ Sharing Words


Sharing Words of Wisdom
I wondered why somebody didn't do something . . .

then I realized I was somebody.



I continually receive emails that have golden words of wisdom and I can't think of anything better than to share them with you so my cup doesn't get too full and block these resources from having a place to rest to continue their endless works of passing on some food for thought and hopefully wisdom to help:
"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved." Quoted from a post on facebook 1/12/2010
"Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. " - Samuel Taylor Coleridge


"Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand." - Saint Thomas Aquinas


"He who hesitates ~ is poor." - Mel Brooks


It was discovered, from a documented, extensive study of longevity, that 90% of the most cheerful quarter of participating subjects were alive at age eighty-five versus only 34% of the least cheerful quarter . . . moral?. . . Don't Worry, Be Happy! A (ITEM OF INTEREST: By the way, it also noted. . . psychology has badly neglected the positive side of life, for every one hundred journal articles on sadness, there is just one on happiness.)


"Positive emotion alienated from the exercise of character leads to emptiness, to inauthenticity, to depression, and, as we age, to the gnawing realization that we are fidgeting until we die."

"Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country is spent
Developing the mind instead of the heart.
Be compassionate not just to your friends but to everyone
Be compassionate.
Work for peace in your heart and in the world.
Work for peace and I say again
Never give up.
No matter what is happening,
No matter what is going on around you,
Never give up."
~The Dalai Lama~
