Words of Wisdom

[lyric]

Okay, it's pretty easy to understand. Post true statements, profound, whatever. Wise words!

"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. "

[SORTING HAT]

Eh.Its not a quote, more of a story. But its the same concept. I got this from a chain letter my friend sent me.

A woman was out watering her garden when she saw three older men with many years of experience out on her front lawn. She approached them and invited them into her home for a hot meal.

"Is your husband home?" One of them asked her. She told he wasn't and he replied. "Then we cannot enter."

Later in the day when her husband arrived she told him of the three men on their front lawn. "Well I'm home!" Said the husband. "Invite them in!"

She left and re invited them into her home. "All 3 of us cannot enter." They told her. The one to the left spoke up. "His name is Wealth, that over there is Happiness and I am Love. Go back inside and choose with your husband who to invite."

The woman returned and explained to her husband. He was overjoyed. "Well go back out and invite Wealth!" He told her. But she disagreed. "Why don't we invite Happiness?" She questioned.

Their younger daughter, who had been listening from the kitchen approached them. "No. Let's invite Love. That way our house will be filled with love."

"Lets listen to our daughter." The husband told his wife. So they agreed and the woman returned outside once more.

"We choose to invite Love into our home." She told them. Love got into his wheel-chair and began making his way into the home. Wealth and Happiness stood up and began walking behind Love.

"I'm sorry." The woman said, stopping them. "But I invited Love. I thought only one of you could go in."

The two men smiled. "Had you invited Wealth or Happiness, the other two would have stayed outside. But you invited Love. Don't you know that wherever Love goes, Wealth and Happiness follow?"
