Pope Saint John Paul II

It is His work. I am like a little pencil in His hand. That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it. The pencil has only to be allowed to be used.

Found on Mother Theresa's Wall

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Food For Thought

A chain is only as strong as its weakest linkA change is as good as a restA fool and his money are soon partedA friend in need is a friend indeedA good beginning makes a good endingA good man is hard to findA house divided against itself cannot standA house is not a homeA journey of a thousand miles begins with a single stepA leopard cannot change its spotsA little knowledge is a dangerous thingA little of what you fancy does you goodA miss is as good as a mileA new broom sweeps cleanA nod's as good as a wink to a blind horseA penny saved is a penny earnedA person is known by the company he keepsA picture paints a thousand wordsA place for everything and everything in its placeA problem shared is a problem halvedA prophet is not recognized in his own landA rolling stone gathers no mossA stitch in time saves nineA thing of beauty is a joy foreverA volunteer is worth twenty pressed menA watched pot never boilsA woman's work is never doneAbsolute power corrupts absolutelyActions speak louder than wordsAll good things come to he who waitsAll that glitters is not goldAll the world loves a loverAll things must passAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boyAll you need is loveAll's fair in love and warAn Englishman's home is his castleAn apple a day keeps the doctor awayAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cureAs you sow so shall you reapAsk no questions and hear no liesAttack is the best form of defenseBarking dogs seldom biteBeauty is in the eye of the beholderBeauty is only skin deepBeggars can't be choosersBehind every great man there's a great womanBetter late than neverBetter safe than sorryBetter the Devil you know than the Devil you don'tBetter to have loved and lost than never to have loved at allBetter to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubtBeware of Greeks bearing giftsBirds of a feather flock togetherBlood is thicker than waterBoys will be boysCharity begins at homeCleanliness is next to godlinessCold hands, warm heartComparisons are odiusCount you blessingsCut your coat to suit your clothDiscretion is the better part of valourDo as you would be done byDo unto others as you would have them do unto youDon't bite the hand that feeds youDon't burn your bridges behind youDon't cast your pearls in front of swine.Don't change horses in midstreamDon't count your chickens before they are hatchedDon't cross the bridge till you come to itDon't judge a book by it's coverDon't keep a dog and bark yourselfDon't let the bastards grind you downDon't look a gift horse in the mouthDon't put all your eggs in one basketDon't put new wine into old bottlesDon't rock the boatDon't spoil the ship for a ha'pworth of tarDon't try to teach your Grandma to suck eggsDon't try to walk before you can crawlDon't upset the apple-cartDoubt is the beginning not the end of wisdomEarly to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wiseEasy come, easy goEmpty vessels make the most noiseEnough is as good as a feastEnough is enoughEvery dark cloud has a silver liningEvery dog has his dayEvery man has his priceEvery stick has two endsEverybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to dieFailing to plan is planning to failFaint heart never won fair ladyFaith will move mountainsFamiliarity breeds contemptFinders keepers, losers weepersFirst things firstFish and guests smell after three daysFlattery will get you nowhereFools rush in where angels fear to treadForewarned is forearmedFortune favours the braveGod helps those who help themselvesGood fences make good neighboursGood talk saves the foodGood things come to those who waitGood will prevailGreat minds think alikeHalf a loaf is better than no breadHandsome is as handsome doesHard work never did anyone any harmHaste makes wasteHell hath no fury like a woman scornedHe who hesitates is lostHe who laughs last laughs longestHe who lives by the sword shall die by the swordHe who pays the piper calls the tuneHindsight is always twenty-twentyHistory repeats itselfHome is where the heart isIdle hands are the devil's workshop.If a job is worth doing it is worth doing wellIf at first you don't succeed try, try and try againIf ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkersIf life deals you lemons, make lemonadeIf the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountainIf wishes were horses beggars would rideIf you can't be good, be careful.If you can't beat em, join emIf you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchenImitation is the sincerest form of flatteryIn the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is kingIn the midst of life we are in deathInto every life a little rain must fallIt goes without sayingIt never rains but it poursIt takes a thief to catch a thiefIt takes one to know oneIt's all grist to the millIt's an ill wind that blows no one any goodIt's better to give than to receiveIt's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all It's better to light a candle than curse the darknessIt's better to travel hopefully than to arriveIt's never too lateIt's no use locking the stable door after the horse has boltedIt's not worth crying over spilt milkIt's the early bird that gets the wormIt's the empty can that makes the most noiseIt's the squeaky wheel that gets the greaseJack of all trades, master of none Keep your chin upKeep your powder dryLaugh and the world laughs with you, weep and, you weep aloneLaughter is the best medicineLet bygones be bygonesLet not the sun go down on your wrathLet sleeping dogs lieLet the punishment fit the crimeLife begins at fortyLife is what you make itLife's not all beer and skittlesLightning never strikes twice in the same placeLike father, like sonLittle pitchers have big earsLive for today for tomorrow never comesLook before you leapLove is blindMake love not warMan does not live by bread aloneMany a little makes a mickleMany hands make work light.Marry in haste, repent at leisureMighty oaks from little acorns growMisery loves companyMoney doesn't grow on treesMoney makes the world go roundMoney talksMore haste, less speedMusic calms the savage beastNecessity is the mother of inventionNever judge a book by its coverNever put off until tomorrow what you can do todayNo man is an islandNo one can make you feel inferior without your consentNo rest for the wickedNothing is certain but death and taxesOil and water don't mixOld soldiers never die, they just fade awayOne good turn deserves anotherOne hand washes the otherOnly fools and horses workOpportunity only knocks onceOut of sight, out of mindPearls of wisdomPenny wise - pound foolishPeople who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stonesPossession is nine tenths of the lawPower corrupts; absolute power corruptsabsolutelyPractice makes perfectPride comes before a fallProcrastination is the thief of timePut your best foot forwardRed skies at night sailor's delight, red skies in morning sailors take warningRevenge is a dish best served coldRome wasn't built in a dayShuffle your feet, lose your seatSpare the rod and spoil the childSpeak softly and carry a big stickStill waters run deepStupid is as stupid doesTalk is cheapThat which does not kill us makes us strongerThe apple doesn't fall far from the treeThe best defence is a good offenceThe boy is father to the manThe cobbler's children have no shoesThe darkest hour is just before the dawnThe early bird catches the wormThe ends justify the meansThe faster I go the behinder I getThe hand that rocks the cradle rules the worldThe more things change, the more they stay the sameThe pen is mightier than swordThe proof of the pudding is in the eatingThe way to a man's heart is through his stomachThere are none so blind as those, that will not seeThere, but for the grace of God, go IThere's always more fish in the seaThere's an exception to every ruleThere's many a slip twixt cup and lipThere's more than one way to skin a catThere's no fool like an old foolThere's no place like homeThere's no such thing as a free lunchThere's no such thing as bad publicityThere's no time like the presentThere's none so deaf as they that will not hearThere's one born every minuteThose who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat itThose who sleep with dogs will rise with fleasTime and tide wait for no manTime is a great healerTo err is human, to forgive divineTo the victor go the spoilsTo travel hopefully is a better thing than to arriveTomorrow never comesToo many cooks spoil the brothTruth is stranger than fictionTwo heads are better then oneTwo wrongs don't make a rightWalk softly but carry a big stickWaste not want notWhat goes around , comes aroundWhen the cat's away the mice will playWhere there's smoke there's fire.Where there's a will there's a wayWorrying never did anyone any goodYou can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drinkYou can't get blood from a stoneYou can't make a silk purse from a sow's earYou can't make an omelette without breaking eggsYou can't make bricks without strawYou can't teach an old dog new tricksYou catch more flies with honey than with vinegarYouth is wasted on the young
