If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. SUCCEED ANYWAY. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. DO GOOD ANYWAY. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. BUILD ANYWAY. People really need help but may attack you if you help them. HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY. "Jump and the net will appear". "If you find yourself in a tug of war with the devil, drop the rope and walk away" “If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say: "He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned."” - Epictetus "There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life.

And singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. But, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. The thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles. " The Thorn Birds I asked Jehovah to take away my habit. Jehovah said "No. It is not for me to take way, but for you to give it up." I asked Jehovah to make my handicapped child whole. Jehovah said "No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary." I asked Jehovah to grant me patience. Jehovah said, "No. patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned." I asked Jehovah to give me happiness. Jehovah said, "No. I give you blessings; happiness is up to you." I asked Jehovah to spare me pain. Jehovah said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me." I asked Jehovah to make my spirit grow. Jehovah said, "No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you and make you fruitful." I asked Jehovah for all things that I might enjoy life. Jehovah said, "No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things." I asked Jehovah to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. Jehovah said, "Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!" If you love Jehovah, show Him, by how you treat others!! Show HIS LOVE! This is your day. Don't throw it away.".
