The wisdom of life I’ve learned that sometimes all a person need is a hand to hold and a heart to understand. I’ve learned that the Lord didn’t do it all in one day. What makes me think I can? I’ve learned that love, not time, heals all wounds. I’ve learned that every one you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile. I’ve learned that opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. I’ve learned that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere. I’ve learned that one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them. I’ve learned that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. I’ve learned that I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it. I’ve learned that everyone wants to stand on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.
