Quotes courtesy of John Demanuele:
We can all spend our lives going about doing good.
Every time you meet a person, think of some encouraging thing to say:
A kind word,
a helpful suggestion,
an expression of admiration.
Always offer:
A considerate attitude,
a helping hand.
Many smiles begin because of another smile
Let's have the world smiling today, even if it's only for ten seconds.
If I cannot foster love amongst the small circle of people I know, how can I expect nations to promote peace in regions where people have nurtured mistrust and hatred for hundreds of years.
We normally shy away from thinking of death.
(and that's putting it mildly)
is it because of the judgement that must surely follow?
If it were not for God's love for us
we would certainly have cause to tremble.
Kind and cruel words are similar
both could be short and easy to say
and both have echoes that are truly endless.
Which do you aim to use today?
Don't open your heart to just anyone, some will break it.
Choose carefully whom to trust but continue trusting
and continue living.
Chinese saying:
"The person who loves others
Will also be loved in return"
and on the same theme from St Paul's letter to the Romans:
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Before the tongue speaks, it must lose the power to wound.
