Take Time:

Take time to think-

It is the source of all power.

Take time to read-

It is the fountain of wisdom.

Take time to play-

It is the source of perpetual youth.

Take time to be quiet-

It is the opportunity to seek God.

Take time to be aware-

It is the opportunity to help others.

Take time to love and be loved-

It is God’s greatest gift.

Take time to laugh-

It is the music of the soul.

Take time to be friendly-

It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream-

It is what the future is made of.

Take time to pray-

It is the greatest power on earth.

Take time to give-

It is too short a day to be selfish.

Take time to work-

It is the price of success.
