POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

-----------------------------

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.

-- Louis Nizer (1902-1994) American Lawyer

A fancy way of saying “practice what you preach” so how can I really add to this? 

I think we all know there are people in this world who see this saying, look back on their lives, and know they have tried to live their life in this way.  There are times they may have faltered but know in their heart of hearts that their soul would always bring them back to where they need to be.  

There are others in this world that look at this saying and pay it no never mind.  They go on in their life living as they have and will always do with more words than actions. 

I don’t judge these people; I just feel sad that the current path they are on in their life they are not able to see that it is not what you say that really matters but what you do that shows what is in your heart and soul.

A little prayer said for all of us that our actions show what is in our heart and soul and if we falter we know that the next step we take will lead us back to where we need to be for us. 

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

-- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish Dramatist and Poet

I have always enjoyed Oscar Wilde's views on life that seem to be ever present in his writings.  I love this quote because find it is very very true. 

So often in life there are others who cannot take joy in someone else’s success.  I understand everyone's innate nature is different but I feel bad there are people out there who are not able to find the joy in what is in my opinion one of life's greatest gifts… The gift of Friends and them being happy.

Be Happy for your Friends and Family as their success should be encouraged and praised.  We don’t have to be there just for the bad… We can be there for the good also :o) 

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.

-- Felix Adler

We all have someone who is that light for us when we retreat into our own world of darkness and although they may not know it or be recognized for the shining light they give it does not make their light shine any less bright in our eyes.

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.

 -- Unknown

I don't think I need to add anything to this saying.  Simple words but we all have this type of Friend and know that they are more precious than any of the rarest jewels in the world.
