Ponderings of a Pilgrim PASTOR

“Wit and Wisdom”

I love a well-crafted saying. A few words can sometimes say more than many. Here are some good ones:

“Always acknowledge a fault.  This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to make more.”
    — Mark Twain

“When you forgive, you in no way change the past, but you sure do change the future.”
    —Radio Host Bernard Meltzer

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
    — Ralph Waldo Emerson

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings a happy death.”
    — Leonardo da Vinci

“Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.”
    — Actor John Lithgow

“When you sling mud, you lose ground.”
    — Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.”
    — George Washington Carver

“I tend to live in the past because most of my life is there.”
    — Columnist Herb Caen

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.”
    — Martin Luther King Jr.

“More and more we become the people we were.”
    — Anonymous

“Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich, will only lead to disaster.”
    — Proverbs 22:16

Love,
Pastor Dave
