“Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop.”
C.S. Lewis

“According to the biblical tradition the absence of work -- idleness -- was a condition of the first man's state of blessedness before the Fall. The love of idleness has been preserved in fallen man, but now a heavy curse lies upon him, not only because we have to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, but also because our sense of morality will not allow us to be both idle and at ease. Whenever we are idle a secret voice keeps telling us to feel guilty. If man could discover a state in which he could be idle and still feel useful and on the path of duty, he would have regained one aspect of that primitive state of blessedness. And there is one such state of enforced and irreproachable idleness enjoyed by an entire class of men -- the military class. It is this state of enforced and irreproachable idleness that forms the chief attraction of military service, and it always will.
Leo Tolstoy

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you’ll get to where God wants you to be.”
Joel Osteen

“Oh, it's awful! oh dear, oh dear! awful!" Stepan Arkadyevitch kept repeating to himself, and he could think of nothing to be done. "And how well things were going up till now! how well we got on! She was contented and happy in her children; I never interfered with her in anything; I let her manage the children and the house just as she liked. It's true it's bad HER having been a governess in our house. That's bad! There's something common, vulgar, in flirting with one's governess. But what a governess!" (He vividly recalled the roguish black eyes of Mlle. Roland and her smile.) "But after all, while she was in the house, I kept myself in hand. And the worst of it all is that she's already... it seems as if ill-luck would have it so! Oh, oh! But what, what is to be done?”
Leo Tolstoy

“Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.”
Mother Teresa

“When you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, the day will come when you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.”
Zig Ziglar

“In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies...but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King Jr

“Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
Mother Teresa

“All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea!” 
Napoleon Hill

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“So I have tried to make it clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends. ”
Martin Luther King Jr

“God Is with You The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. DEUTERONOMY 31:8 NIV God has promised He will never leave you nor forsake you. No matter what you are going through in life, you do not have to go through it alone. Every day with God is not going to be a perfect day with no problems. But your worst day with Jesus will still be better than your best day without Him. Say all throughout the day, “God is with me right now. Right now, God is with me. God is with me when I go to work. God is with me when I go to the marketplace. God is with me. He’s not just with me when I go to church; God is with me all the time. He cares about everything I do.” Power Thought: God is with me at all times; I never have to walk alone.”
Joyce Meyer

“Before prayer changes others, it first changes us.”
Billy Graham

“Take the broken pieces of your life, bake a master cake out of it. Don't stand still like a lake; keep flowing like a stream!
Israelmore Ayivor
