You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.
From Psalm 50:23: “Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor Me; to those who go the right way I will show the Salvation of God.”

There is one thing sadder to lose than life, it is the reason to live, sadder than using your possessions, it is to lose your hope.
We must not seek happiness in peace, but in conflict.

Solitude is an oasis of the soul where we see ourselves, others, and especially our God in new ways. God, who probes our deepest thoughts during protracted segments of solitude, opens our eyes to things that need attention.
From Psalm 94:19: “When cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”

Christians have spent their whole lives mastering all sorts of principles, done their duty, carried on the programs of their church . . . and never known God intimately, heart to heart.
From Ephesians 1:20-23: “God put this power to work in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And He has put all things under His feet and has made Him the head over all things for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

I still believe we ought to talk about Jesus. The old country doctor of my boyhood days always began his examination by saying, “Let me see your tongue.” That’s a good way to check a Christian: the tongue test. Let’s hear what he is talking about.
From Proverbs 10:14: “The wise lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin near.”

God is the God of do-overs, and that should give us great hope. We really can be absolved of our past.
From Acts 22:6-8: “[From the conversion of Paul] While I was on my way and approaching Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me. I feel to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ Then he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'”

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
Knowledge is speaking, Wisdom is listening.
