Words of Truth

In Uncategorized on April 21, 2008 at 8:55 am

• To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.
• Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger.
• Real friends are those who, when you feel you’ve made a fool of yourself, don’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.
• A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous.
• Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
• I don’t have to attend every argument I’m invited to.
• Lead your life so you won’t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
• People gather bundles of sticks to build bridges they never cross.
• Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it.
• Did it ever occur to you that nothing occurs to God?
• Life is like an onion, you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.
• Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
• There are two things I’ve learned: There is a God. And, I’m not Him.
• Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked.
• Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.
• When it comes time to die…make sure all you have to do is die.
• Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

Real?

“You are as much a real person as you
are deep. As with the depths of a diamond, the
interior is twice as important as the surface.
There are people who are all facade, like a house
left unfinished when the funds run out. They have
the entrance of a palace but the inner rooms of a
cottage.”

–Balthasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.”
