Proverbs often prove to be very interesting and often helpful. Although you can't really base your life on them, sometimes they seem to be just what a person needs to get through the day. Here are just a few "points to ponder":

You can never have a second chance to create a first impression.

Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.

Jealousy is a burning coal that smolders threateningly in the breast of those who harbor it.

God has a special key of comfort to fit every lock of sorrow.

Too many captains sink a ship.

A helpful friend in time of need is as valuable as a support to a leaning wall.

Compassion is the golden key that unlocks the heart of others.

Lazy people want much but get little!

Wisdom is its own reward.

A happy face means a glad heart.

It is an honor to receive a frank reply.
