Want to add wise sayings...........Ouotes etc?............. (30)
alabamabebe: Oh hon, I know you know this, but you're supposed to be powerless over other people, places and things. The only power we have is over ourselves and our attitudes, actions and reactions.
Not giving others the reaction they seek is the only power we have over them. And that to me feels pretty powerful. As long as I was trying to control others I was beating my head against a brick wall. All's I got out of it was a bloody head. Not beating myself up cause someone wants me to, that is power!

Tao Te Ching
When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When some people see things as good,
Other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything.
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess.
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.

Falling down is not defeat.
Defeat is when you refuse to get up.
Lucky means who get the opportunity.
Brillant means who create the opportunity.
Winner means who use the opportunity.
Be a winner always.
The difference between oridinary and extraoridinary is that little extra.
Silence & Smile are two powerful tools.Smile is the way to solve many problems & Silence is the way to avoid many problems.
Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won’t take it.
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.
Life becomes useless and insipid when we have no longer either friends or enemies.
It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.
Teamwork…means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid all together.
If you don’t know where you’re going how do you expect to get there ?
A smile is the lighting system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart.
That’s the secret to life… replace one worry with another…
It’s faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living.
A friend is someone who has the same enemies you have.
Wisdom begins in wonder.
Bacteria is sometimes the only culture some people have.
To bear failure with courage is the best proof of character that anyone can give.
Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.
Being yourself is being the person everyone else wants you to be.
The wisest mind has something yet to learn.
If you want truly to understand something, try to change it.
Be of use, but don’t be used.
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
When in doubt, consult your inner child if it doesn’t come naturally, leave it.
Why is abbreviation such a long word ?
Sports do not build character. They reveal it
A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
Be nice to your kids . . . they’ll be the ones choosing your nursing home.
Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far.
I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.
It’s good to be clever, but not to show it.
God is clever, but not dishonest.
A word to the wise ain’t necessary — it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.
Remember that time is money.
Copying from a single source is called plagiarism, copying from multiple source is called research.
Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
If you’re not very clever you should be conciliatory.
Two things are infinite : the universe and human stupidity; I’m not sure about the universe.
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
Patience is not a virtue, it is a waste of time.
Fish and visitors smell in three days.
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a thousand men with guns.
Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.
I should keep my words soft and sweet in case I have to eat them.
Pressure makes diamonds.
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
One thing I can give and still keep: my word.
