When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.

VERY good one!

Good point. I would also add family to that.

I dont think family needs to be added, becasue we do not choose our families, but we do choose friends. One can be in a family that does not describe his/her pesonality at all, but he can't refuse to be part of it.

 

This is what I think, maybe i am wrong...

That is not always true, as HOUTA had irreproachable friends -

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

 

Worry is like a rocking chair -- it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere.

 

Don't be unhappy if your dreams never come true -- just be thankful your nightmares don't.

 

Great minds discuss ideas; normal minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

 

Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought.

 

Keep your temper -- nobody wants it.

 

The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

 

He who angers you controls you.

Well, I know we don't choose our family... However, it's wise to look at a person's friends and family regarding maintaining friendship with that person, or something more.

 

While friends are a reflection of our choices, family is the unit which inculcates us with our manners, mores and views which allows us to go out there and make these choices in choosing friends, based on these values instilled in us through families.

 

So I see them as the same coin in that regard.

I believe that the Holy Bible is one of the best sources where one can find many good words of wisdom.

 

“If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding”

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it.

Piss on it and walk away.

We All Need A Tree

 

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after

he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him

lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck

refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On

arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door,

he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both

hands.

 

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation..

His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children

and gave his wife a kiss.

 

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my

curiosity got th e better of me. I asked him about what I had seen

him do earlier.

 

Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied "I know I can't help

having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles

don't belong in the house with my wife and the children... So I just

hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God

to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again." "Funny

thing is," he smiled," when I come out in the morning to pick'em up,

there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

Since there is no salvation for souls without Christ1

and there is no light without the sight of the eyes,

nor is there sweetness of the sun without

the rays of dawn,

in the same way there is no remission of sins

without confession of secrets and the baring of the soul.

For what good is purity,

if you are judged with the Pharisees?

Or what harm are my transgressions,

if I am to be praised with the tax collectors? 2

Where is it written that Joel was punished,

for repeating three times the distress of his soul? 3

Might a holy man be blamed for reminding us

of the Last Judgment? 4

Is it possible that Isaiah can be called a man of

unclean lips,5 when he stood apart from the deeds of

the house of Israel?

And how can God, who took on Adam’s body out of

sympathy for me, be considered blameworthy for

praying to his Father like a sinner? 6

How can the proverb be interpreted:

“The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,

but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” 7

For he, who does not confess the error of Adam

to his own heart, and like the fortunate king who took

upon himself the sins of his ancestors,8

consider the sins of all his own9

shall lose his righteousness, like one who thinks our

human nature incorruptible.

And as it is written, a heart can not make

a merry countenance in expectation of the good news10

if one does not, as taught by Christ’s apostle

experience sorrow and repentance.11

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."

 

And he said:

 

Your children are not your children.

 

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

 

They come through you but not from you,

 

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

 

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

 

For they have their own thoughts.

 

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

 

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

 

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

 

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

 

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

 

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

 

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

 

For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
