My Philosophies

Yes, I am a "thoughtful" person. I always have things running in my mind of how things could be and will be in the near future. My major influence is, of course, the Bible but I also read the works of the Eastern Cultures such as the concepts of Zen and Tao, Confucius, Sunzi, Lao-Tzu's, and Zhuangzi. And I can not forget the works of Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. ...and here are my works.

-Be observant, and absorb all you can... life might pass you by.

-You can only push someone so far before they back away.

-Acknowledge even the little things in life...they bring the most joy.

-Be consistant in all things you do. Be fluent with nature.

-If God can't fix it, no one else can!

-We all agree that the nicest people in the world are those who minimize our faults and magnify our virtues.

-It's better to look where you're going than to see where you've been.

-Conceit is a form of "I" strain that doctors can't cure.

-When it comes to spotting the faults of others, everybody seems to have 20/20 vision!

-Money can buy a house, but it takes love to make a home.

-Some things cannot be measured. We don't think of a ton of truth, a pound of beauty, or an inspiration a mile long.

-The fact that nobody wants to believe something doesn't keep it from being true.

-Every accomplishment starts with the right decision, "I'll Try."

-In all relationships of life, faith is worthless unless it leads to action.

-Ideas are funny things. They don't work unless you do.
