    After dinner set a while; after supper walk a mile.



    A man’s discontent is his worst evil.



    Discretion is the better part of valor.



    An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of knowledge.



    Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.

    Misfortune sometimes comes as a blessing in disguise.



    Praise underserved is scandal in disguise.



    A loving disposition is never without a ripple.



    Between wrangling and disputing truth is lost.



    Friends agree best at distance.

    With our whole heart, let us celebrate the miracle of the birth and life of our Savior today.

    A life that began so unexpectedly, a young unwed girl as his mother, born in a manger among animals, yet he would become the greatest gift anyone of us could ever receive!

    From such humble beginnings this baby became the greatest teacher of God's love.
    .
    Hallelujah!

    Amen, brother. HE knew from the beginning that HE was born to die for OUR SINS, yet HE did HIS FATHER'S WILL...
    THANK YOU, JESUS for YOUR GIFT of everlasting life, if I just believe in YOU. THANK YOU for paying my sin debt.

    If you are not willing to work for something then don’t complain about not having it.



    If you are not willing to learn, nobody can help you. If you are determined to learn, nobody can stop you. Zig Ziglar

    Better a donkey that carries me than a horse that throws me.

    Don’t knock at a dead man’s door and expect an answer.

    There's a lot of great inspirational, and common sense, words here. These words take on a special meaning in this strange world we're living in these days.

    Appreciate it!

    Doubt the worst and hope for the best.



    Where doubt ends peace of mind begins.



    Only in dreams does the happiness of the earth dwell.



    Love’s dreams prove seldom true.



    Foolish men have foolish dreams.
