Quotes

The Amish enjoy quotes and will often jot any down that they like.

I don't remember many of them, but a few that I heard often while growing up have stuck with me.

Use it up,
Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or do without.

It is not happy people who are thankful. ...... It is thankful people who are happy.

Habits are first cobwebs, then cables.
 ~~~~
It is better to give others a piece of your heart than a piece of your mind.
~~~~
He who is not content with little, will never be content with much.

Speak kind words and you will hear kind echoes

  3. I have heard a couple of your quotes before but I hadn't heard "It is not happy people who are thankful. ...... It is thankful people who are happy. I thought to myself "how true is that!?! Thankful people realize they are blessed and are content with what they have. As a result, they are able to enjoy the "little" things in life. I badly needed to be reminded of this. Thank you so very much for sharing.
