Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. ~David Star Jordan
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in thy sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

in Bits of Wisdom Tags: today, tomorrow, wise, worry
To-morrow — oh, ’twill never be,
If we should live a thousand years!
Our time is all to-day, to-day,
The same, though changed; and while it flies
With still small voice the moments say:
“To-day, to-day, be wise, be wise.”
~James Montgomery, To-day
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
