Some Proverbs and Sayings

I am reading the book "Seven Habits Of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey and found a lot of cool little saying/proverbs in there and some horse ones from another place too. Here are a few:

Sow a though,and you reap an act;

Sow an act, and you reap a habit;

Soa a habit, and you reap a character;

Sow a character and you reap a destiny;

kindness in your smile."

Strong in deed."

-Latin Proverb

And finally the last one:

Please Listen

When I ask you to listen to me

and you start giving advice,

you have not done what I asked.

When I ask you to listen to me

and you begin to tell me why

I shouldn't feel that way,

you are trampling on my feelings.

When I ask you to listen to me

and you feel you have to do something

to solve my problem,

you have failed me,

strange as it may seem.

Listen! All I ask is that you listen.

Don't talk or do-Just hear me.
