Good advice from older people is to be cherished, especially if they are strong and mature. I was talking with friends last week and we discussed how we could drive to work and not remember a thing about how we got there. However, some details of our lives like good advice can be remembered in detail for years. I am sure you have some that come to mind. So here are some wise quotes from different people:

Charles Dickens said in David Copperfield some good advice about money : ‘Annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 19 [pounds] 19 [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 20 pounds ought and six, result misery.’

“Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways.” Dali Lama

Prayer: Holy God thank you for the many wonderful quotes in the bible and from wise people that we know. Amen.
