• "I love this part: Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd rather have been talking. When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends. Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back or a fool from any side. Fear less, hope more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. Patience is the companion of wisdom. The ear tests words as the tongue tastes food. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing! Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking. Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed. If you can be well without health, you may be happy without virtue. If you judge people, you have no time to love them. A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans. You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. Reason why is im just as calm and soothing as the rain... ever falling from the sky and ever providing what everyone needs... Deep Serenity and Peace of mind. -Rain Pants"
