Pearls Of Wisdom

Author Unknown

1] Prayer should not be just the spare wheel that you use when you are in trouble, but should be the steering wheel that keeps you in the right track and safe in the right path throughout your journey.

2] A car's windshield is much larger and a car's rear view mirror is much smaller because the past is not as important as the present and future. So enjoy the present scenery, look ahead, and move on, but don't completely ignore what is behind you!

3] Friendship is like a book: it takes years to write one but only a few minutes [or seconds] to destroy it.

4] All things in life are temporary. If things are going well, enjoy them because they will not last forever. If things are going wrong, don't worry, they won't last either.

5] An old friend is like gold and a new friend is like a diamond! If you get a diamond, don't discard the gold because you'll need a base of gold on which to set and hold a diamond.

6] Often when we lose hope and think it is the end, God smiles and says, "Relax, it's just a bend .... not the end!"

7] If God solves your problem, you have faith in His ability; if God doesn't solve your problem, He has faith in your ability.

8] A blind person once asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing one's eyesight?" St. Anthony's reply: "Yes, losing one's vision!"

9] When you pray for others' happiness and safety, God answers your prayer; when you are happy and safe, remember that God answered someone's prayer for you.

10] Worry does not take away tomorrow's trouble, it merely takes away today's peace.
