Countee Cullen Quotes

There is no secret to success, except hard work and getting something indefinable which we call “the breaks.”

For we must be one thing or the other, an asset or a liability, the sinew in your wing to help you soar, or the chain to bind you to earth.

Countee Cullen (1903-1946) was an American poet and novelist, who made a significant impact during the Harlem Renaissance.

Charles Stanley Quote

Adversity is not only a bridge to a deeper relationship with God, but it’s also the path to freedom, healing, and maximum usefulness.

From Hebrews 12:11-13:  “Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.  Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
