Without hard work, nothing grows but weeks.

Give it all you’ve got because you never know if there’s going to be a next time.

Be a good listener.  Your ears will never get you in trouble.

The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best.

When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

We are all capable of greater things than we realize.

Build yourself up by competing with yourself.

Always keep on surpassing yourself.

Every person has lovable qualities when you really learn to know him.

If you put off everything till you’re sure of it, you’ll never get anything done.

When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

You can never cross the ocean unlewss you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.

Forget yourself for others and others will not forget you.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.

God plus one is always a majority.

When things go wrong, don’t go wrong with them.

God intervenes in the affairs of men by invitation only.

The company you keep will determine the trouble you meet.

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained.

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.

It takes twenty years to become an overnight success.

Some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them.

You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.

If better is possible, good is not enough.

Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them.

Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

Have faith in God; god has faith in you.

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

With men it is impossible; but to God all things are possible.

Who refreshes others will be refreshed.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

It is done unto you as you believe.

Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.

The mind is like a parachute.  It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

He who throws dirt loses ground

Ignorance is always swift to speak

A minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk.

The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example.

A marriage may be made in heaven, but the maintenance must be done on earth

If at first you don’t succeed, try reading the instructions.

The Mode by which the inevitable comes to pass is effort.

Success is getting what you want:  happiness is wanting what you get.

A person who walks in another’s track leaves no footprints.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

Knowing is not enough:  We must apply.  Willing is not enough; we must do.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong

The truth shall make you free.

Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and never succeed

Everything is possible for him who believes.

Seek peace, and pursue it

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Friday,  August 7th 2009

Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.

God is the brave man’s hope, and not the coward’s excuse.

To succeed, it is necessary to accept the world as it is – and rise above it.

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Responsibility is the price of greatness.

Tuesday,  August 5th 2009

You’re only one thought away from happiness.

There are no secrets to success.  It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

The only things we have yet to achieve are the things we have yet to dream.

The platform of success is built from the broken floors of failure.

The strength of a person is not what’s around them, but what’s in them.

God can heal your broken heart, but first you have to give Him all the pieces.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.

Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you.

Love is an act of endless forgivenss.

The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but still hold hands.

Love is what you’ve been through with somebody.

The reward of humility and the reverent worship of the Lord are riches, honor, and life.

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
