Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
it's here! Spring has Sprung...
how beautiful the sun felt on my face this morning as I went for my walk.
the air seems cleaner and the woods are alive with birdsong ~
"the Deepest of roots never doubt Spring's arrival"
here are a few wise-words gleaned from here and there....
Rise early.
Be abstemious. Be frugal. Attend to your own business and never trust it to another.
Be not afraid to work, and diligently, too, with your own hands.
Be not afraid to work, and diligently, too, with your own hands.
Treat
everyone with civility and respect.
Good manners ensure success.
Accomplish what you undertake. Decide, then persevere.
Diligence and
Industry overcome all difficulties.
Never be mean - rather give than
take the odd shilling.
Never postpone till tomorrow what can be done
today.
Honesty not
only is the best policy, it is the only policy.
Commence at the first
round and keep climbing.
Make your word as good as your bond.
Seek
knowledge to plan, enterprise to execute, honesty to govern all.
Time is money.
Reckon the hours of the day as so
many dollars, the minutes as so many cents.
Make few promises and keep
the ones you make.
Live within your income.
Sobriety
above all things.
Not too much caution, slow but sure is the thing.
The
highest monuments are built piece by piece ~ Step by step we mount the
pyramids.
Be bold.
Be resolute when the clouds gather.
Difficulties are
surmounted by opposition.
Self confidence is your key, self reliance,
your lock.
Your conscience is the best monitor.
Never be over-sanguine,
but do not overrate your own abilities.
Don't be discouraged.
Don't be discouraged.
On this, the 1st day of Spring ~
I wish you all a bit of success, in every aspect of your lives....
Live Creatively!

Beautiful post Lori ….Happy Spring !!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these wise words. It is good to be reminded of these all the time and moreso at difficult times. I am so grateful for so many things right now, not least of which is the comfort and meditative quality of my needlework. Oh, and the internet!
