Famous Quotes about wisdom

Tom Walsh quote #369 from Just for Today

Saying a prayer can be as simple as thinking positive thoughts about someoneits not an act that needs to be tied to any particular religion or system of beliefs. I can say a prayer just by saying I wish you peace after someone becomes angry with me for something trivial I can say a prayer for the woman who is always cheerful or gloomy at the store where I shop by thinking I wish you all the best in lifegood health good relationships and all of your true needs fulfilled. Of course if you want to pray to God in the form in which you conceive of God thats fine tooand your prayer will not be wasted. Think about it. Is the world a better place when you walk away from someone either forgetting them immediately or thinking negative thoughts about them This world of ours can use all the positive thoughts we can contribute to it and our simple and heartfelt prayers are some of the most positive thoughts we can create and share. And they affect us as much as if not more than they affect the objects of our prayers.

Grace Metalious quote #477 from Peyton Place

If God was going to do what He thought was best anyway why bother to ask for anything one wanted If you prayed and God thought that what you asked should be granted He would grant it. If you did not pray and it was true that God always acted in ones best interest you would receive whatever He wanted you to receive anyway.Prayer thought Allison was a dreadfully unfair rather unsportsmanlike affair with all the advantages on one side.

Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm. Point out the beginning direct the progress and help in the completion.
