First 'quotes of the month'

Hey peoples! I've recently decided to do a 'quotes of the month' on the last day of every month. Hope you enjoy!

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.

May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
- Irish Blessing
