knocked at the door. Faith answered. No one was there. (Inscription

oftimes driven to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that

I
want to live a long life; longevity has its place, but I just
want to do the will of God. (Martin Luther

too long before his assassination.)

Prayer is not overcoming
God's reluctance; it is laying hold of His highest willingness!
(Richard C. Trench)
|
|
The
best rememdy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is
to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with
the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel
that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people
happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists,
and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always
be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may
be. (Anne Frank)

More
things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. (Alfred,
Lord Tennyson)

The whole being of
any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the man to God,
love brings him to men. (Martin Luther)

The Bible is a window
in this prison of hope, through which we look into eternity.
(Timothy White)

We
take care of the possible and let God take care of the impossible.
(Ruth Bell Graham)

When I despair, I remember
that all through history the way of truth and love have always
won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time
they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think
of it...always. (Mahatma Ghandi)

Never
lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for
beauty is God's handwriting—a wayside sacrament. Welcome
it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower,
and that God for it as a cup of blessing. (Ralph
Waldo Emerson)

|
Joy
can be real only if people look upon their life as a service,
and have a definite object in life outside themseves and their
personal happiness. (Leo Tolstoy)
|
|
The
only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to
do nothing. (Edmund Burke)

|
God doesn't call people
who are qualified. He calls people who are willing, and then
He qualifies them. (Richard Parker)

|
To laugh often and
much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection
of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is the meaning of success. (Ralph
Waldo Emerson)
