Observations



People cannot be judged by what they do in ignorance, rather what they do once they have a true understanding.

A friend does not believe gossip about you, but he will also not pretend all is well when you do wrong.

The proud overestimate themselves, but a humble person knows his true worth.

The selfish take and think they will be happy, but miss out on the real satisfaction that unselfishness brings.

Help is for those deserving, but giving to a lazy one does no one any favours.

Greed is never satisfied, and is therefore not fulfilling.

A true peacemaker actively seeks to sort out problems, even if it means admitting their fault in the matter.

Overly Helpful Usher


An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely.

"The front row, please," she answered.

"You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "The pastor is really boring."

"Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.

"No," he said.

"I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

"No," she said.

"Good," he answered.
