    Default Words to Live By

    I'm starting this thread over again because the other was moved inside another thread. Moderators why do you move threads?

    If you give someone control of your life, they will take control of your life.

    From my grandmother- "Actions speak louder than words." "Show me who you are with and I will show you who you are."

    From dad- "Everyone has the same problems, they're just a little different." (The translation probably makes the saying lose some of its meaning- it means that "we all want the same things but go about getting them in different ways.")

    Life is hard enough, why do some people insist on making it harder on others? I don't get it.

    Forgive others, not because they deserve it but because you deserve peace.

    Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. Teach a man to google and you'd never need to teach him to fish in the first place.

    You just reminded me of a quip that I heard on an oldies AM station: "Give a man a fish, he'll be fed for a meal. Teach a man to fish, he'll sit on a boat and drink beer all day long."

    Another snippet from a washroom bulletin board: "Blowing out someone else's candle won't make yours shine any brighter."

    All the problems you are facing are temporary. Every problem has a solution. Even if that solution seems hard to attain or achieve, it is still possible! Don’t give up. Keep fighting, you beautiful warrior.
