A little girl is sitting with
her grandfather. She touches her grandfather’s wrinkled skin and
innocently asks, “Grandpa, who made you?” The grandpa answers, “God made
me long ago.” Then she walks over to the mirror, looks at her smooth
skin, and asks, “Grandpa, who made me?” The grandpa answers, “God made
you very recently.” The little girl ponders this a moment, and then says,
“God is getting better, isn’t He?” –Rabbi Michael Gold
“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.
