Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

For the first time in my life I tasted death, and death tasted bitter, for death is birth, is fear and dread of some terrible renewal.

Meditation teaches us to focus and to pay clear attention to our experiences and responses as they arise, and to observe them without judging them.

Each experience in your lifewas absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place, and the next place, up to this very moment.

Be just, and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's and truth's.
