"God, You’ve given me
the
physical, emotional
and spiritual will
to overcome so many obstacles
that
have risen before me.
How many times have I faced
what I perceived to be
impossible, hopeless situations
and withstood them—
and discovered creative
solutions
through which to surmount
and master them.
You’ve strengthened me
again and again.
I know that You
will never fail me."
-Rebbe Nachman, The Gentle Weapon
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
