Re: Old Sayings
I remembered another one today while at our men's prayer breakfast. We have a member of the group who fits this description.

Re: Old Sayings
Not old: but old-ish
A few sayings of Peter Maurin.
There is no better way to be
than to be
what we want the other fellow to be.
===================================
We cannot imitate the sacrifice of Christ
on Calvary
by trying to get all we can.
We can only imitate the sacrifice of Christ
on Calvary
by trying to give all we can.
===================================
What is not logical
Is not practical,
even if it is practiced.
What is logical is practical
even if it is not practiced. …
To practice what is logical
even if it is not practiced
is to be a leader.
