Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food." 3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on. 4.

Philosophy 101….. As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that: Whether we wear a $300 or $30 watch – – – they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag – – – the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $30 or $3 wine – – – the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3,000 or 30,000 sq. ft. – – – the loneliness is the same. And we realize our true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down – – – we go down with it.  Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane reaches its destination – – – everyone arrives at the same time. Therefore . . . we should realize that when we have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, with whom we can chat, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north- south-east-west or heaven and earth — that is true happiness!

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.  Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.     Mother Teresa Click here for more wisdom from Mother Teresa .

Richard Cardinal Cushing D EAR  G OD , help me be a good sport in the game of life. I don't ask for an easy place in the lineup. Put me anywhere you need me. I only ask that I can give you 100% of everything I have. If all the hard drives seem to come my way, I thank you for the compliment. Help me to remember that you never send a player more trouble then he can handle with your help… A nd help me, Lord, to accept the bad breaks as part of the game. May I always play on the square no matter what others do…Help me study…T HE  B OOK  so I'll know the rules… F inally, God, if the natural turn of events goes against me and I am benched for sickness or old age, help me accept that as a part of the game, too. Keep me from whimpering that I was framed or that I got a raw deal. And when I finish the final inning, I ask for no laurels; all I want is to believe in my heart, I played as well as I could and that I didn't let you down. Amen.
