This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.
By the grace of God, I'll be that man.
Dwight L. Moody
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?
We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
No man can resolve himself into Heaven.
God never made a promise that was too good to be true.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.
Character is what you are in the dark.
A good example is far better than a good precept.
A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.
For your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.
Janet Frame
Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.
St. Francis De Sales
The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other.
Arthur Rubinstein
Success doesn't suck.
Darius Rucker
Who is mightier than death? Those who can smile when death threatens.
Ruckett
Only in dreams does the happiness of the earth dwell.
The fool needs company, the wise solitude.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Though you are disappointed is hope; never let hope fail you! Though one door is shut, there are thousands still open to you.
A vulgar mind is proud in prosperity and humble in adversity. A noble mind is humble in prosperity and proud in adversity.
Anxiety about the future never profits; we feel no evil until it comes, and when we feel it, no counsel helps; wisdom is either too early or too late.
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Between today and tomorrow are graves, and between promising and fulfilling are chasms.
Before everyone stands a image of what he ought to be. So long as he is not that his peace is not complete.
My only wish is that my wishes be at rest.
There is only one blasphemy, and that is the refusal to experience joy.
Paul Rudnick
Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator a good idea? Nothing!
Donald Gardner
It's not what you take but what you leave behind that defines greatness.
Edward Gardner
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding he sings.
If we would just support each other -- that's ninety percent of the problem.
Thought is, perhaps, the forerunner and even the mother of ideas, and ideas are the most powerful and the most useful things in the world.
George Gardner
Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything.
Herbert Gardner
There are two great injustices that can befall a child. One is to punish him for something he didn't do. The other is to let him get away with doing something he knows is wrong.
Robert Gardner
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Charles A. Garfield
Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it.
Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life? NO. That would be like coming to a fork in the road and trying to go both ways by straddling it.
Values provide perspective in the best of times and worst.
A mission could be defined as an image of a desired state that you want to get to. Once fully seen, it will inspire you to act, fuel your imagination and determine your behavior.
