Today's Thought Gem—March

The weak
indulge in
resolutions,
but the
strong act
Life
is but a
day’s work—
do it well
The act
is ours;
the consequences
God’s
The greatest affliction
of the cosmos is
never to have been afflicted.
Mortals only learn wisdom
by experiencing tribulation
Stars are best discerned
from the lonely isolation
of experiential depths,
not from the illuminated
and ecstatic mountain tops
Whet the appetites of your associates
for truth; give advice
only when it is asked for
Affectation is the ridiculous effort
of the ignorant to appear wise,
the attempt of the barren soul
to appear rich
You cannot perceive spiritual truth
until you feelingly experience it,
and many truths are not really felt
except in adversity
Impatience is a spirit poison;
anger is like a stone hurled
into a hornet’s nest
Anxiety must be abandoned.
The disappointments
hardest to bear are
those which never come
