Moments Wisdom (Page 6)

A Moments Wisdom –A mark of deep spiritual maturity is to be able to enjoy the journey when God puts you on a detour. –It is better for my enemy to see good in me than for me to see bad in him. –Life is but a little glimmer of time between two great eternities. –Think: when you are enraged at anyone, what would probably be your thoughts if he should die during your dispute. –It is the nature of…

A Moments Wisdom –He who buys what he does not need steals from himself. –The proud man has no God; the envious man has no neighbors; the angry man does not have himself. –Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body. –When you are confronted by an opponent, conquer him with love. –Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of great and important questions, everyone should be serene, slow-pulsed, and calm. –If we could read…

A Moments Wisdom –It is not necessary to tell your friends about your indigestion or backache. “How are you?” is a greeting, not a question. –An apology is a friendship preserver, an antidote for hatred, never a sign of weakness; it costs nothing but one’s pride, always saves more than it costs, and is a device needed in every home. –Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about themselves, and small people talk about others. –Most people talk too…

A Moments Wisdom –Pain nourishes courage. You cannot be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you. –It is innocence when it charms us; it is ignorance when it irritates us. –If you are suffering from a bad man’s injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men. –There are two types of people in this world: those who come into a room and say, “Well, here I am” and those who come into the room and say,…

Learn as if you were to live forever. –Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn. –Children don’t always remember what you try to teach them. They are more likely to remember what you are. –Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.…

A Moments Wisdom on Grace –I am nothing but a ripped fabric stitched together by God’s grace. –The fires of refinement come with a cost, but also with a promise. His grace has been extended to you for restoration, confirmation, strengthening, and to establish you in Him. –A sin confessed in humility and sorrow becomes a guilt removed by grace and love. –To find grace, we need not look so very far ahead. We need only look at the present…

A Moments Wisdom –Some people have eyes that see not and ears that hear not, but there are very few people who have tongues that talk not. –There isn’t a thought in our heads that hasn’t already been worn shiny by other brains. –You will never please everyone. If you please God always and your family much of the time, be quite content. –Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden; it is forbidden because it is hurtful. –Weak men…

A Moments Wisdom –What you see and hear depends, not only on where you are standing, but also on what kind of person you are. –The sting of a rebuke is the truth within it. –It takes a completely honest man to tell the difference between when he is tired and when he is just plain lazy. –Look at a day when you were supremely satisfied at its end.
