Leonardo da Vinci and anger

Inspirational Thought for the Day

Anger is often more harmful than the injury that caused it.

When Leonardo da Vinci was working on his painting "The Last Supper", he became angry with a certain man. Losing his temper he lashed the other fellow with bitter words and threats. Returning to his canvass he attempted to work on the face of Jesus, but was unable to do so. He was so upset he could not compose himself for the painstaking work. Finally he put down his tools and sought out the man and asked forgiveness. The man accepted his apology and Leonardo was able to return to his workshop and finish painting the face of Jesus.

Very Sad Mistake

Inspiration for the Day

"Tomorrow morning the sun will rise over the ancient hills just like it did the day before and for ten million yesterdays. The tides will rise and fall just like they have been rising and falling for countless ages. The rocky cliffs will reflect the rays of the rising sun, as usual. Water will go roaring down canyons centuries old, or flow serenely in the level stretches to the sea. Some instinct will bring the birds back north with the coming spring. On all this the stars and moon look down from the serenity of the firmament.

And while this is going on, over and over again, only mankind is tense. Only man becomes so wrapped up in his petty little problems of economics and politics, of intrigue and profit and power, of greed and exploitation, that he fails to heed the great lesson going on around him. He is so near his problems and brings his problems so near to him that he finally comes to believe that he and he alone, is the center of the universe. And that is a very sad mistake to make."

This is Wealth #8 ... To be content with the things that are nearest - daily bread, daily loves, daily duties - so that you do not have to grasp at the stars for adventure; then at eventide a simple prayer with the benediction of sound sleep, while the silent stars keep vigil overheard, and you hold with you the child-like trust that God is behind all.
