“We aren’t just thrown on this earth like dice tossed across a table. We are lovingly placed here for a purpose”

The size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God’s responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have – even if it’s no more than a sack lunch.

Friends make life a lot more fun.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Patience is a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit.

Laughter is the most beautiful and beneficial therapy God ever granted humanity.

We continually encounter hardships. People disappoint us. We disappoint ourselves. But God is constant and compassionate. We are not alone. He cares. Against all reason, the transcendent God loves us so much that He has committed Himself to us.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don’t quit, whatever you do. Persevere.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

Anything under God’s control is never out of control.

Refuse to let your situation determine your attitude.

Authentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.

Faith is like lighting the torch that passes from one person to the next. You can’t light the torch of another if yours isn’t burning.

It’s not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.

God never asked us to meet life’s pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.

Today is unique! It has never occurred and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end, quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are opportunities with eternal possibilities.

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.

It strikes me that all our knowledge about the structure of our Earth is very much like what an old hen would know of the hundred-acre field in a corner of which she is scratching.

Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth, and truth in the darkness of the mind.

Earth, turning upon itself, moves round the Sun.

Each of us inevitable; Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.

The total number of stars in the Universe is larger than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth.

Loneliness is bred of a mind that has grown earth-bound.
