Quotes of Wisdom ~ My View

Quotes by Others Interpreted Contest Winner 

                                     

The greatest glory in living, lies not in never falling,

but in rising every time we fall.

-Nelson Mandela

When you fall, get back up, dust it off and try again

Do not pay attention, to those who mock you or condemn

If I fall, I wait for help, think of poems that I'll write then

 

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

 -Walt Disney

 If you want it bad enough, shush it; grab and clutch

Stop babbling your way through life, without even a touch

I do get a lot done, but I love to talk too much

 

The best and most beautiful things in the world

cannot be seen. They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

For family and friends, love in our heart is how to see

My blind friends can see better, than some whose sight is free

I can't see you FS friends, but you mean the world to me

 

In all stages of your life, you'll have choices, bad and good

Happiness and less regrets, by choosing those you should

Find those that are of value, and always do your best

Make decisions that are close to God, and throw out all the rest

      - Joyce Pick

     Decisions in our life, we make one choice or another

     Thinking only of yourself, can make you choke and smother

    I ask myself, will God approve, then surely would my mother

RED LETTERS= QUOTES.....,BLACK LETTERS= MY INTERPRETATIONS

{This is how I view the three black lines of each stanza}
1. The way I interpret it
2. Another way of seeing it
3. How it pertains to me (at times a way to laugh at myself)

Acts of Kindness for Teachers" was named for my Mom, Joyce Pick, by Oprah Winfrey
Oprah read and proclaimed this quote by my mom, for all to live by, on national television.
