Richard L. Evans quotes about
people listening young
Young people are going to go to someone, somewhere. And we had better see that that 'someone' is us.
sorry opportunity winning
Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
eye reflection men
Literally, no man ever sees himself as others see him. No photograph or reflection ever gives us the same slant on ourselves that others see. It has often been proved on the witness stand that no two people ever see the same accident precisely the same way. We see through different eyes and from different angles. But if we could see things as other people see them, we could come closer to knowing why they do what they do and why they say what they say.
love-is tests tests-of-love
The test of love is in how we live.
important speed
Your direction is more important than your speed.
children teaching parent
Parents who indulge themselves 'in moderation' may have children who indulge themselves to excess.
bitterness realizing judgment
The ever-present expectancy of death is never far removed from any of us - whether we realize it or not. None of us can avoid it. It comes alike to the great and to the unknown; to the righteous and to the unrighteous. Wherein we differ is not in our ability to avert it, but in the preparedness with which we meet it. At such times some question the judgments of God. Some find bitterness because of the circumstances and because of the seeming untimeliness of death.
love morning being-thankful
Realize that the privilege to work is a gift. Love of work is success. Be thankful that every morning that you get up that you have some thing that must be done (whether you like it or not).
children giving parent
What better can parents and children give to each other than respectful, understanding attention.
listening important may
The interruption we now impatiently put off may be the most important thing we could be doing at this particular time?
temptation want ifs
If we don't want temptation to follow us, we shouldn't act as if we are interested. No one ever fell over a precipice who never went near one.
conversation conclusion
We must carry things beyond conversation to conclusion.
peace memories fighting
Indeed, the greatest blessing that can follow the death of those we love is reconciliation. Without it there is no peace. But with it come quiet thoughts and quickened memories. And what else shall a man do except become reconciled? What purpose does he serve by fighting what he cannot touch or by brooding upon what he cannot change?
moving one-direction wish
Life moves in one direction only - and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now- and from this point we must proceed; not from where we were, not from where we wish we were - but from where we are.
