NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 601

 

  • ·       The chief factor in any man's success or failure must be his own character. - Theodore Roosevelt

    ·       "Never did [Jesus] employ the negative mode of teaching derived from the ancient taboos. He refrained from placing emphasis on evil by forbidding it, while he exalted the good by commanding its performance."

    ·       Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. - Lin Yutang

    ·       "It is not that I think or believe, but that I know." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    ·       "Always must the desire to do the Father’s will be supreme in the soul and dominant over the mind of an ascending son of God."

    ·       To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man’s life. - T.S. Eliot

    ·       "Must the hunger become anger and anger become fury before anything will be done?" - John Steinbeck

    ·       God, let the gratitude I feel enable me to give.

    ·       "Faith must not be overmuch influenced by its emotional consequences. True religion is an experience of believing and knowing as well as a satisfaction of feeling."

    ·       A fool has certainty. A wise man has humility.

    ·       "There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking." - Alfred Korzybski
