A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.

You can only learn so much from books. You can only learn so much from education. Ultimately, it is the wisdom of God that will carry you through in the toughest situations of life.

We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.
