Helen Steiner Rice Sayings


A mother's love is like a beacon, Burning bright with Faith and Prayer, And through the changing scenes of life, We can find a haven there. ©


You cannot change reality, but you can control the manner in which you look at things. Your attitude is under your own control. Weed out the negative and focus on the positive! ©


God grant me courage and hope for everyday, faith to guide me along my way, understanding and wisdom, too, and grace to accept what life gives me to do. ©


Love is the answer, that everyone seeks...Love is the language, that every heart speaks. ©


Time is not measured by the years that you live But by the deeds that you do and the joy that you give- And each day as it comes brings a chance to each one To love to the fullest, leaving nothing undone That would brighten the life or lighten the load Of some weary traveler lost on Life's Road- So what does it matter how long we may live If as long as we live we unselfishly give. ©


God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will. ©


Love works in ways that are wondrous and strange and there's nothing in life that love cannot change! Love can transform the most commonplace into beauty and splendor and sweetness and grace. Love is unselfish, understanding and kind, for it sees with the heart and not with the mind!  ©


When you are in troubled and worried and sick at heart And your plans are upset and your world falls apart, Remember God's ready and waiting to share The burden you find much to heavy to bear-- So with faith, "Let Go and Let GOD" lead your way Into a brighter and less troubled day. ©


In this troubled world, it's refreshing to find someone who still has the time to be kind. Someone who still has the faith to believe that the more you give, the more you receive. Someone who's ready by thought, word, or deed to reach out a hand, in the hour of need. ©


God grant me courage and hope for everyday, faith to guide me along my way, understanding and wisdom, too, and grace to accept what life gives me to do. ©


A Mother's love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. ©


A mother's love is like a tower, Rising far above the crowd, And her smile is like the sunshine, Breaking through a threatening cloud. ©


Grief is a solitary journey. And no one but you can mourn the silence that was once filled with laughter and song. It is the nature of love and of death to touch every person in a totally unique way. Comfort comes from knowing that others have made the same journey. And solace comes from understanding how others have learned to sing again. ©


No matter how steep the mountain - the Lord is going to climb it with you. ©


When you ask God for a gift, Be thankful if he sends, Not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of real true friends. ©


The way to real growth is not to become more powerful or more famous, but to become more human and more tolerant. ©


There is only one place to begin And that is in each home and heart- For the fortress of peace is within! ©


Love changes darkness into light and makes the heart take a wingless flight. ©


In everything both great and small, We see the Hand of God in all. ©


Comfort comes from knowing that people have made the same journey. And solace comes from understanding how others have learned to sing again. ©


There's always a tomorrow and the hope of something new. ©


It takes a Mother's Patience, to bring a child up right, And her Courage and her Cheerfulness to make a dark day bright. ©


A wee bit of heaven drifted down from above, a handful of happiness, a heart full of love. ©


It takes a Mother’s Love to make a house a home, a place to be remembered, no matter where we roam. ©


Stop wishing for things you complain you have not, and start making the best of all that you've got. ©


A mother's love is like an island, In life's ocean vast and wide, A peaceful, quiet shelter, From the restless, rising tide. ©


For each time you smile you will find it's true somebody, somewhere, will smile back at you. ©


This great God loves us still, He loved us since the world began and what's more, He always will. ©


Today be happy with what you have - not discontent with what you don't have. ©


For a mother's love is fashioned, After God's enduring love, It is endless and unfailing, Like the love of Him above. ©


For once I've met somebody, the years cannot erase...

The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face...

©

And when the home is filled with love you'll always find God spoken of. ©


God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow. ©


The comfort and sweetness of peace. ©
