It is no little wisdom for a man to keep himself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to him, and to turn his heart to God and not to be troubled with man's judgment. -- Thomas A Kempis [from Eknath Easwaran's "Words to Live By," March 4]
The secret to true happiness is to lower my standards for others and to lift higher my standards for myself. -- recent blinding flash of the obvious
Your best chance, as I see it, is to try not to be as mean as you feel like being, and not to give yourself airs, and to hope for the best. -- Henry Mitchell [from his column in "The Washington Post," March 8, 1988]
I just try not to be as nasty as I want to be. -- My personal Golden Rule which I copped from Mitchell's column for which I can never be grateful enough.
Thank you.
