“How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.”

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.

Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

We may speak of love and humility as the true flowers of spiritual growth; and they give off a wonderful scent, which benefits all those who come near.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.

Be kind to all and severe to thyself.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything – God alone suffices.

If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.

Failure makes me work even harder.

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

Never a failure, always a lesson.

There is no excuse for not trying.

Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win.

If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!

If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means “Next Opportunity”, So let’s be positive.

Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience for growth in our own lives, for if we’re never tested to our limits, how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever grow?
