I don't wave a flag for anything. I'm a musician.
Your character is the harvest of your habits.
Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can't give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don't have to work because the other half's going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody's going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel.
We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.
Men throw broken things away, but God never uses anything until he first breaks it.
There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.
Your high points and your low points. High points don't last that long, it's a high and it happens. It's great at the moment but you really can't live on it.
In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the breaking of new blooms.
Cracks especially. You have to be careful of the cracks. . Sometimes they are disguised as something else. A doorway, or a smile or even a winking eye. And if you fall through them, you never know were you will end up.
We do not owe any soul, except that which played the most vital role in our lives.
