1. No one can ruin your day without YOUR permission.
2. Most people will be about as happy, as they decide to be.
3. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it
permanently.
4. Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will
have.
5. Success stops when you do.
6. When your ship comes in.... make sure you are willing to unload it.
7. You will never "have it all together."
8. Life is a journey...not a destination. Enjoy the trip!
9. The biggest lie on the planet: "When I get what I want I will be
happy."
10. The best way to escape your problem is to solve it.
11. I've learned that ultimately , 'takers' lose and 'givers' win.
12. Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared.
13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.
14. We often fear the thing we want the most.
15. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you have to
say. Best friends listen to what you don't say!
16. Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints.
17. Look for opportunities...not guarantees.
18. Life is what's coming....not what was.
19. Success is getting up one more time.
20. Now is the most interesting time of all.
21. When things go wrong.....don't go with them.
22. Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the
same side.
23. God can mend all broken hearts. You just have to give him all the
pieces.
24. A person who asks a question might be a fool for five minutes,
but a person who doesn't ask, is a fool forever...
25. A best friend is like a four leaf clover... hard to find, and
lucky to have.
26. A friend is someone who reaches for your hand but touches your
heart.
27. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to
remain anonymous.
28. I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
29. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of
God's grace... and your best days are never so good that you are
beyond the need of God's grace.
30. Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look
ahead than to look back.

These are very wise words to live by. If we could just do them all, what a better world this would be and how much happier we all would be.

That is for sure. Maybe these are something we can hope to someday learn to live by?

One more word of wisdom;) I would have broke that down into two posts..as people tend not to read very lengthy posts..they are excellent posts.. but so long they would have looked better in two;) Like putting the wise words into categories; and making three posts..Good topic and words we all need to here+

Good thoughts. Add this one: No one can walk all over you, unless you decide to be a door mat, and you were given two ears and one mouth, because you should use them in that proportion. I like your sayings, Krause. Have a good day.

Thank you for these wise words and the perspective they lend.
Though number 20 reminds me of the Chinese curse I once heard "May you live in interesting times."
