Words of Wisdom

 


The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it. 
Thucydides 

The point of wisdom is not simply to do well ... it is to do good. 
Patricia Monaghan 

 
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, 

and most fools do. 

Benjamin Franklin
   
 
The greatest lesson in life is to know that 

even fools are right sometimes. 

Sir Winston Churchill 

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. 
Theodore Roosevelt
  

 
You can only lead others where you yourself 

are prepared to go. 

Lachlan McLean
  
 
To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; 

you should wear it inside where it functions best. 

Margaret Thatcher
   

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable. 
To be certain is to be ridiculous. 
Chinese proverb
  
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation

applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency.


The second is that automation applied to an inefficient 


operation will magnify the inefficiency. 

Bill Gates

“As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night & ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She goes and does something, she wants to do, & it's usually more interesting.

Women over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest.. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
