Words of Wisdom

 Remember the stack of anonymously written quotations purchased at a yard sale that are read here every day?

Yesterday's reading was especially meaningful.

Many of the readings contain words of wisdom.

 If there were someone to attribute a quote to, I would gladly do it.

Well, some of them are from the Bible so that counts.

Below is  the reading I especially liked:

 WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BRING PEACE TO THIS WORLD? WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE?

Words of Wisdom

My late Mummy always clipped things she liked or found inspirational.

While going through some files recently, the following words of wisdom by st Francis de Sales popped out.

Mummy found them, typed them, and tucked them away for safe keeping.

They are worth posting on this blog.  

Thanks, Mummy!  Until we meet again...

                            "The positive always defeats negative:
                            Courage overcomes fear,
                            Patience overcomes anger and irritability,
                            Love overcomes hatred."

At popular Friends of the Library book sales each year, a basket filled with little books sits near the check-out line.

It's so easy to pick up a bunch of these pint-sized gems and keep them in another small basket on a bathroom counter.
  
A very petite book titled, "Springs of Indian Wisdom," I once purchased for $1.

It's inscribed by an unknown mother to her son, Brian.  

She signed it "Love, Mom" and it's dated Christmas of 1965.  

The publisher of the three-inch high volume was Herder Book Center, 232 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 
   
It's a wonderful little book with short and sweet words of wisdom.  

The words at the top of this post are from "Springs of Indian Wisdom."  


Books, no matter what their size, and book sales, are among life's truly shining treasures.
