WISDOM - WORDS/VOCABULARY - WORRY/FEAR

WISDOM
"Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." -- Winston Churchill
"Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself." -- Oprah Winfrey
"True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance." -- Akhenaton
"Every man is a fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limits." – Elbert Hubbard
WORDS/VOCABULARY
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -- Mother Teresa
"Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future." -- Jim Rohn
"Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory." -- Norman Vincent Peale
"Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs." -- Pearl Strachan
WORRY/FEAR
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." -- Pope John XXIII
"The fear is worse than the pain." -- Shannon Bahr
"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold." -- Helen Keller
"Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death." -- Betty Bender
