The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Lord, please give me patience and I want it now. When your choice is to be right or to be kind. Always be kind. The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
I have a pact with my tongue not to speak when my heart is disturbed. The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read. Life is too short and eternity is too long to spend our time and resources doing what will not really matter. It always surprises me that some things are so surprising that they even surprise people that nothing surprises any more. It is strange that 2 sailboats can sail different directions in the same wind.
