King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies

King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Right Observation, Wrong Application

A couple was having some trouble, so they did the right thing and went to a marriage counselor.

After a few visits, and a lot of questioning and listening, the counselor said that he had discovered the main problem.

He stood up, went over to the woman, asked her to stand, and gave her a hug. He looked at the man and said, "This is what your wife needs, at least once a day!"

The man frowned, thought for a moment, then said, "OK, what time do you want me to bring her back to you tomorrow?"

Powers Inside You

"There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover & use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become."

Orison Swett Marden
1850-1924

Take Wisdom from the Wise

Take wisdom from the wise
It takes a man of vision to write on water
Not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey
Great men rise to greater challenges
