Wise Words

I received this in a power point today, but had to make it accommodating for the blog....

Here are some very wise words - I'm sure you've heard them before, but I liked them.

It's called "My Favorite Philosophy:"

- A man with a watch knows what time it is - a man with two watches is never quite sure.

- Don't look where you fall - look at where you slipped

- Look at life through the windshield - not the rear-view mirror.

- Be nice to people on your way up, because you will need them on your way down.

- People may doubt what you say - but they will believe what you do.

- Never explain. Your friends do not need it and your enemies won't believe it.

- Time you enjoyed wasting - was not wasted.

- While seeking revenge - dig two graves. One for yourself.

- You've go to do your own growing, no matter how tall your father was

- Courage is not a lack of fear, but the ability to act while facing fear.

- The best way to predict your future is to create it.

Speaking of philosophy, I believe it was Chuck Swindoll who once said, "I'm uninterested in the philosophy which you live by. I only care about the philosophy you die by."

Thank you for saving this; we can look it up easily! Not that it isn't in the scriptures . . . our preachers will say!
