| Some Neat Thoughts |
| "I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call on, and I invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whinning of a door." --John Donne |
| "Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved." --Barbara Johnson |
| "An angel, robed in spotless white, Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night, Night woke to blush; the spirit was gone, Men saw the blush and called it Dawn." -Paul Laurence Dunbar |
| "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come; Nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God." --Romans 8:38 |
| "It all happened in a moment, a most remarkable moment that was like none other. God became a man. While the creatures of earth walked unaware, Divinity arrived. God was given eyebrows, elbows, two kidneys, and a spleen. He stretched against the walls and floated in the amniotic fluids of his mother. God had come near. No silk. No ivory. No hype. To think of Jesus in such a light is--well, it seems almost irrevererent, doesn't it. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. But don't do it. Let him be as human as he intended to be. Let him into the mire and muck of our world. For only if we let him in can he pull us out." --Max Lucado |
| "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 bit 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 to have succeeded." --Bessie Anderson Stanley |
| "I no longer have the fear of being alone. It's cool to find out that you don't need a boyfriend to be happy." --Drew Barrymore |
| "After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn..." --Veronica A. Shoffstall |

| "Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her--when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?" -- Helen Rowland |
| "We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in the filling of a vessel, drop by drop, there is at last one which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses, there is at last one which makes the heart overflow." --James Baswell |
| "People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." --Mother Teresa |
| "Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity." --Christopher Morley |
| "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." --Frank Herbert, Dune |
| "One guy is not worth the tears becuase the one who is will never make you cry." --Unknown |
| "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson |
| 'Fire burns; water erodes. Say what you will about fire's speed and efficiency, but I've never seen anyone put out a river.' - Greg Jensen |
| "I dont even think i know the attraction. Why couldnt God just make people born with each other and automatically make them love as they grow? It would be alot more easier then this romance dance take a stance crap." -- Chad on understanding why there is attraction between the opposite sex |
