~ Bits of Wisdom ~

To handle yourself...use your head
To handle others....use your heart
~
Anger is only one letter short of Danger
~
If someone betrays you once...it is his fault
If someone betrays you twice...it is your fault
~
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people
~
He who loses money....loses much
He who loses a friend....loses much more
He who loses faith...loses all
~
Learn from the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself
{from the book...If only I'd said that...P.Legge}

Good Morning Koralee...I hope you are having a beautiful day. I think I need to have something made with the anger/danger quote for my son. His temper gets the best of him sometimes...and we all pay a price.
