SPARKS OF WISDOM

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

IN THE BOOK SPARKS OF WISDOM BY C.S. CANONIGO,
IT IS WRITTEN:

DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN,
IN ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN,
IN ALL PLACES YOU CAN,
AT ALL THE TIMES YOU CAN,
TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU CAN,
AS LONG AS EVER YOU CAN.

(PAGE 45)


IT IS ALSO WRITTEN:

IT'S BETTER SOMETIMES TO BE BLIND,
TO THE FAULTS OF SOME POOR FELLOW BEING,
THAN TO VIEW THEM WITH VISIONS UNKIND,
WHEN THERE'S GOOD WE OUGHT TO BE SEEING.

IT'S BETTER SOMETIMES TO BE DUMB
THAN TO SPEAK JUST TO BE CRITICIZING,
THOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE GIVEN SOME
TO RECALL TRAITS BOTH MEAN AND DESPISING.

IT'S BETTER SOMETIMES TO BE DEAF
THAN TO HEAR ONLY LYING AND PANDER,
FOR THERE'S NOTHING SO LOW AS
OF A GOOD NAME DESTROYED BY SLANDER.

HOPE THIS BE OF HELP TO US.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
