worry & peace

Take with you words, strong words of courage:
Words that have wings!
Take with you holy words, words that know God;
Words that are sacred as healing waters,
Pure as light, and beautiful as morning,
Take with you tall words, words that reach up,
And growing words, with deep life within them.
Take with you holy words, words that know God.


You can't get anywhere today if you are still mired down in yesterday.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Who is wise? He that learns from everyone.
Who is powerful? He that governs his passions.
Who is rich? He that is content.
Who is that? Nobody.

The fellow who worries about what people think of him wouldn't worry so much if he only knew how seldom (little) they do.

Worry never climbed a hill.
Worry never paid a bill.
Worry never dried a tear.
Worry never calmed a fear.
Worry never darned a heel.
Worry never cooked a meal.
Worry never led a horse to water.
Worry never done a thing you'd think it oughta.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Pray or be a prey- prey to fears, futilities, to ineffectiveness.
