Sayings of WisdomHere is a HUGE list of Wisdom Sayings and Quotes. These would be excellent to use in scrapbooking or on homemade holiday greeting cards. Some of these sayings just give you a wise or comical way of looking at things. In fact, you may find yourself sharing these sayings and quotes of wisdom to your friends and family. I see more use for these wisdom sayings than just scarpbooking.
The way I see it; if you want the
rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Life is change; growth is optional It's never too late, in fiction or
in life, to revise. We are the hero of our own story Life is like a camel; you can make
it do anything except back up In three words I can sum up
everything I've learned about life: it goes on. Those who do not know how to weep
with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either. The trouble is, if you don't risk
anything, you risk even more. Living never wore one out so much
as the effort not to live. If you have made mistakes...there
is always another chance "It is not seeing the light that impacts one's life; it is never ceasing to see the light that impresses one's life, spirit, heart and soul." --by Diane Lahaie August 6, 1994
Unknown authorsA person needs only
two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. Draw your salary before spending it. One must not tie a ship to a single anchor nor life to a single hope. The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit; try to belong to the first class - there's far less competition. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To handle yourself, use
your head, Anger is only one letter short of danger. Great minds discuss ideas, Learn from the mistakes
of others. The tongue weighs
practically nothing, To achieve success, Don't squat with your spurs on. Always drink upstream from the herd. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back. The quickest way to
double your money is to fold it over and put it back If at first you don't
succeed, lower your standards Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets. Life is an endless
struggle full of frustrations and challenges but eventually One of life's
mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a woman God put me on earth to accomplish a
certain number of things. Right I finally got my head together ... and my body fell apart. Time may be a great healer but it's a lousy beautician. Brain cells come and brain cells go but fat cells live forever. Amazing! You just hang
something in your closet for a month or so and
This section is contributed by Diana Lahaie, Thanks! A man is not defined by his
memories, but by his actions. A fair face may fade, but a beautiful soul lasts forever. Those who are at war with others are seldom at peace with themselves. A day above ground is a good one. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived. I am only one, but
still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And
because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something I can do. We can do anything
we want if we stick to it long enough. Life is either a daring adventure
or nothing. It's always too
soon to quit!... No one can make you
feel inferior without your consent It's easier to build a boy than mend a man. Most people are
about as happy as they make up their minds to be. There is nothing in
which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at. If you are falling off a cliff, you may as well try to fly. You've got nothing to lose. If you do not know
where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. The man who makes
no mistakes does not usually make anything Don't part with your illusions.
When they are gone you may still exist but you have ceased to live. Nothing is a waste
of time if you use the experience wisely. You gain strength,
courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear
in the face. Character contributes to beauty We need to dwarf
our troubles and magnify our blessings. One can never
consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar. The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. The only just
justification for ever looking down on someone is to lift them up. You haven't failed until you quit trying. Hating someone is like burning down your house to get rid of a rat. The ultimate evil
is to leave the company of the living before you die Anxiety is the
poison of human life. If a man constantly aspires, is he
not elevated? Some men see things
are they are and say, 'Why? I dream things that never were and say, 'Why not?'
In the long run we
get no more than we have been willing to risk giving. For visions come not to polluted
eyes. If there is anything better than to be loved, it is loving. Of all the music
that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart. He who gains victory over the other
men is strong; but he who gains victory over himself is all powerful. We do not receive
wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take
for us or spare us. The bravest thing
you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly. Living a life of integrity is one
of the greatest missions we can undertake. He knows not his
own strength who hath not met adversity. Have a vision not
clouded by fear. When we do the best we can, we
never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. |

The Grant Beach Neighborhood Betterment Association is a group of citizens working together to maintain and improve the quality of living in our area. We meet monthly on a regular basis to address neighborhood concerns, and encourage residents to start smaller neighborhood watch groups in their block. We believe that people should actively participate as citizens in a democracy and as neighbors in in a community. We are a group of citizens interested in working together to maintain and improve the living quality of our neighborhood, motivate the city to address our concerns, be a spawning ground for neighborhood watch programs and build a sense of community among us. Working together, there is little that cannot be done, working apart there is little that can be done. Mission Statement: "Improving the quality of life in our neighborhood" This website is simply a tool we use to help keep our neighbors connected to each other, to their neighborhood and to their City of Springfield, Missouri. Please consider attending the monthly meeting. Potluck Dinner for the whole family and Free child care for the meeting
