"Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other."
A successful marriage is not a gift; it is an achievement.All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest --never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all; this too shall pass.Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. If you marry a man who cheats on his wife, you'll be married to a man who cheats on his wife. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings. Inside every seventy-year old is a thirty-five year old asking,
"What happened?"Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good. Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised. My personal recipe for success is: Do what you love and don't
look at the clock.No one has the right to destroy another person's belief by demanding empirical evidence.Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.One out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced. Think of your three closes friends; if they seem OK, then you’re the one. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset. Some people believe that holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go -- and then do it.Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other.The Lord gave us two ends -- one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the
single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead.
-The trouble with talking too fast is that you may say something you haven't thought of yet.The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.You need that guy like a giraffe needs strep throat. |
