Shared Wisdom: Some More Pearls From Others

I read pearls of wisdom that others have written because they serve me well and enhance and/or confirm any wisdom I may have acquired over the years.  I also love to read how others express themselves through their different writing styles.  So let me share some more words from other wonderful people.

“Edge your days with prayer; they are less likely to unravel.”  (Unknown)

“There’s not a thing in the world I can do to make you love me, but I also realize there’s not a thing in the world I can do to stop you from loving me.” (Sheila Walsh)

“When we know that we are worthy of love, we no longer need to engage in a profusion of activities designed to prove our worthiness to ourselves or to others. Our inner sense of worth enables us to give love without demands or expectations, thereby creating the pathway through which love spontaneously returns to us.  Grace unfolds in our lives and we are naturally drawn toward events and circumstances to which we can contribute our energy and attention.” (Paul Ferrini)

“A burden, even a small one, when carried alone and in isolation can destroy us, but a burden when carried as part of God’s burden can lead us to new life.” (Henri Nouwen)

“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.” (Chinese Proverb)

“Are you on the eve of change?  Embrace it.  Accept it.  Don’t resist it.  Change is not only a part of life, change is also a necessary part of God’s strategy.  To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.”  (Max Lucado)

“I have many friends who do not believe in luck; they believe in blessings.  Likewise, I do not believe in coincidences; I believe in miracles.” (Jane Seymour)

“Grace is what God gives us when we don’t deserve it, and mercy is when God doesn’t give us what we deserve.” (Anonymous)

“Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you also have the obligation to be one.” (Eleanor Roosevelt)

And I can’t think of a better way or a better person’s quote to close up today’s posting on wisdom.
