Just some quotes I tried to add some rhyme to.

I hope you all like them.

Don't count your days, make your days count for lost time is never again found. If you want to see rainbows don't stare at the ground. When everyone else walks out a friend will be first to walk in. One finds a true treasure when one finds a true friend. One ounce of Mother equals one pound of clergy. Her love and concern will lessen your worry. A teacher is paid to teach us to make a living but we learn how to live at home. Teach a child honor and good common sense and he'll make you proud when he's grown. It's better to attempt to do something and fail, Than attempt to do nothing and prevail. If God is your partner make big plans, For when God is your partner the future is grand. If your lips would keep from slips five things observe with care, To Whom you speak, Of Whom you speak and How and When and Where. Don't expect your kids to listen to your advice and ignore your example. The way that you live gives ample example. Life is what happens while your making other plans. Be wise and prepare so through storms you can stand. When opportunity knocks by some uncanny quirk, It oft goes unrecognized it so resembles work. Actions speak louder than words, it's true. Though they doubt what you say folks believe what you do. Well timed silence is more eloquent than words. Folks who talk too much often go unheard. If you keep your mouth shut you won't be misquoted. The dog who barks the most is the one on the shortest chain. We are prepared for great deeds by great trials. What shouldn't be heard by little ears shouldn't be said by big mouths. God's people are not without trial, nor are they without their God amid the trial.
