Est Fulgor Veritates

This site is a compilation of the words of wisdom that Noel J came across in life. The site title was an inspiration from the Latin phrase which he learned from his Philosophy Professor, Bro. Michael La Guardia of which he always kept for years: "Est fulgor veritates mentes ascensum rapiens". It is the splendor of truth that makes the mind of a man to ascend.

RIGHT SPEECH

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning
that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a
nation." Many relationships break off because of
wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each
other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy.
We may say anything without considering if it would
hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.
A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember
me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her
millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married
me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction
worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that
you married me. Otherwise, he will be the
millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed
for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg -
cannot be reversed.
