'Why doesn't God help me?' I wondered He answered, 'You didn't ask.' I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak; I wondered why God didn't show me. He said, 'But you didn't seek.' I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock. God gently and lovingly chided, 'My child, you didn't knock.' I woke up early this morning, and paused before entering the day; I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

To give the white-haired father or mother not only respect, but confidence, to tell the joke and the secret to them first, to accord them cordially the central place in the merrymaking, may seem trivial matters, yet they are not trivial to those who, in the twilight of life, begin to think they are useless or forgotten, and to question whether they shall be missed when they shall go out into the nearing night. Courtesy is but a little thing and costs nothing, and if it is due to any one, it is surely due to the aged among us, especially when these are our parents.

Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down's syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, 'This will make it better.'

To trust in the arm of flesh is foolishness; to suppose that we are self-sufficient is naive. This nation will survive and prosper only as God permits it to do so, and his permission rests upon our obedience to him and his gospel. He brought forth this nation. He gave us our liberty. He inspired our federal constitution. But it is for us to preserve these priceless blessings by our repentance and obedience to God. Our sins and haughty attitudes can only bring us sorrow.

America is still the land of opportunity.

Americas strength is not basically political; nor is it industrial nor military. The foundation of this land is spiritual. When that foundation is weakened, democracy itself is threatened. We cannot allow that to happen.

I am an American. A free American. Free to speak without fear. Free to worship God in my own way. Free to stand for what I think is right. Free to oppose what I believe is wrong. Free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom, I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.

Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it.

I hope to live all my life for my art, without abandoning my principles one iota, without ... having painted as much as you can cover with your hand, to please somebody or in order to sell the picture more easily.

Painting is the representation of visible forms.... The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal.

The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it.

The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.

Art is a deliberate recreation of a new and special reality that grows from your response to life. It cannot be copied; it must be created.

As Joseph Was A-Walking As Joseph was a-walking He heard Angels sing, 'This night shall be born Our Heavenly King.

'He shall not be rocked In silver nor gold, But in a wooden cradle That rocks on the mould. 'He neither shall be christened In milk nor in wine, But in pure spring-well water Fresh spring from Bethine.' Mary took her baby, She dressed Him so sweet, She laid Him in a manger, All there for to sleep. As she stood over Him She heard Angels sing, 'Oh, bless our dear Saviour Our Heavenly King!'

Ask Gods blessing on your work, but do not also ask Him to do it

They now have a 900 number for atheists. When you call, nobody answers and you get charged for the call.

The best defense against the atom bomb is not to be there when it goes off.

The man who attends strictly to his business usually has plenty of business to attend to.

Although at the moment they may be equal in their lack of a real answer, the man who replies 'I'll find out,' is much more valuable to his employer, his neighbor, and to himself than the man who replies 'l don't know.'

On a gloomy, rainy morning, it came little eight-year-old Tommy's turn to say the blessing at breakfast. 'We thank Thee for this beautiful day,' he prayed. His mother asked him why he said that when the day was anything but beautiful. 'Mother,' said he, with rare wisdom, 'never judge a day by its weather.'

Sometimes we are limited more by attitude than by opportunities.

Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.

Persistence gives confidence and continued right mental attitude followed by consistent action will bring success. When you have that knowing inside of you, fear has vanished and the obstruction to a life of all good removed.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Bats are in serious decline nearly everywhere. Worldwide, there are almost a thousand different kinds of bats which comprise nearly one fourth of all mammal species. Of the 43 species living in the U.S. and Canada, nearly 40 percent are endangered or are candidates for such status.... Bats may eat their own weight in insects in a single night. They also control such garden pests such as ants, beetles and disease carrying mosquitoes. As the primary predator of night-flying insects, bats play an important role in this balance of nature.

The average girl would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

Let no one ever say And say it to your shame That all was beauty here, Until you came.

Now men say, 'I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me,' and thus they have an excuse, so that they neither are ready nor in the way to be so. And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.

'Oh,' said our host, 'why, that happens so often we dont even see it any more.' I wonder how many of us are like my friend is with his view of the sunset. We have so many blessings that we never take time to look at them or count them.

Isn't it strange that many of our greatest blessings must come to us in disguise?

They don't like machines more complicated than a garotte, a blackjack, or a luger, and they have always been shy of the 'big folk' or 'biggers' as they call us. As a rule they avoid us, except on rare occasions when a hundred or so will get together to dry-gulch a lone farmer or hunter. They seldom exceed three feet in height, but are fully capable of overpowering creatures half their size when they get the drop on them.... Their beginnings lie far back in the Good Ole Days when the planet was populated with the kind of colorful creatures you have to drink a quart of Old Overcoat to see nowadays.

The alert was screaming its warning against invading German planes. People were racing for the shelters. 'Hurry up!' cried the housewife to her spouse. 'I cant find my false teeth,' called the befuddled and tardy husband. 'False teeth!' returned the exasperated wife. 'What do you think they are dropping? Sandwiches?'

A novel is a piece of prose of a certain length with something wrong with it.

Books are among life's most precious possessions. They are the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing else that man builds ever lasts. Monuments fall, civilizations perish, but books continue. The perusal of a good book is, as it were, an interview with the noblest men of past ages who have written it.

God deliver me from a man of one book.

How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.

In every fat book there is a thin book trying to get out.

There is no worse robber than a bad book.

Johnny was a chemist's clerk But Johnny is no more For what he thought was H2O Was H2SO4.

A bore is someone who, when you ask him how he is, tells you.

The worst thing about a bore is not that he wont stop talking, but that he wont let you stop listening.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble by not borrowing any.

'Bottles and rags! Bottles and rags!' called the ragman, as he plied his calling. 'Why do you always put these words together?' asked a passerby. 'Because, madam,' said the ragman, courteously touching his hat to the lady, 'whenever you find bottles you find rags.'

When you've boxed yourself in, there is no sunshine.

A man has invented a chair that can be adjusted to eight hundred different positions. It is designed for a boy to sit in when he goes to church.

Little George was very piously trained; but he had a strong will and disliked very much to yield. When he was disobedient his mother was accustomed to make him stand in a corner of the room for a while. One night, after he had been more than stubborn, he knelt to say his evening prayer, and made this petition: 'Oh, Lord, bless Georgey and make him a good boy, and don't let him be naughty again, never no never, 'cause you know, Lord, when he is naughty, he sticks to it!'

The human brain is like a railroad freight car guaranteed to have a certain capacity but often running empty.

I brake for no apparent reason.

Bravery is not a lack of fear. It's proceeding in spite of it.

Just because you can't see the air, doesn't stop you from breathing; and just because you can't see God, shouldn't stop you from believing.

The broad-minded see the truth in different religions; the narrow-minded see only the differences.

You cant spell brothers without at the same time spelling others.

Your task to build a better world God said, And I answered 'How? This world is such a large vast place and so complicated now And I so small and useless am Theres nothing I can do.' And God, in all his wisdom said, 'Just build a better you.'

Its not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. Its the one that says 'To whom it may concern.'

It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Bureaucracy is the death of any achievement.

Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses.

You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.

If you are quiet about your business, your business is apt to be quiet, too.

Some who are not paid what they are worth ought to be glad.

... Courtesy is as important within an organization as in dealing with outsiders.

Business is a lot like a game of tennis those who serve well usually end up winning

The bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted. It is not how busy you are, but why you are busy.

A group is as capable as it contains capable individual members

You have the capacity to learn from mistakes. You'll learn a lot today.

I would rather have a little rose from the garden of a friend, than flowers strewn around my casket when my days on earth must end. I would rather have a living smile from one I know is true, than tears shed round my casket when this world I bid adieu. Bring me all the flowers today, whether pink or white or red, I would rather have one blossom now than a truckload when I am dead.

No one cares how much you know Until they know how much you care.

Reckless automobile driving arouses the suspicion that much of the horse sense of the good old days was possessed by the horse.

Cars are being made with three: one says left turn, one says right turn, and the third says 'guess what im going to do?'

Curiosity did not kill the cat, I got him with the lawnmower.

How can you censor my thoughts? What is right, what is not? How is it you decide, What I should feel inside?

Chair: The headquarters for the hindquarters.

Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.

Champions are a rare breed. They trust God while others ask for answers. They step forward while others pray for volunteers. They see beyond the dangers, the risks, the obstacles, the hardships.

Change is good, but dollars are better.

I guess some people never change. Or, they quickly change and then quickly change back.

If we are not engaged in making ourselves into the kind of person we ought to be, we are automatically engaged in making ourselves into what we ought not to be.

Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.

Some people grin and bear it. Others smile and change it.

The foolish and the dead are the only ones who never change their opinion.

We must always change ... renew ... rejuvenate ... Otherwise, we harden.

All of us are always going to do better tomorrow, and we would, too, if only we started today.

Today, having a change of heart is more than a figure of speech.

Chaos results when the world changes faster than people.

Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

How a man plays the game shows something of his character; how he loses shows all of it.

Leaders are like eagles, they don't flock together; you find them one at a time.

When I do right, no one remembers. When I do wrong, no one ever forgets.

When small men begin to cast long shadows, it is a sure sign that the sun is setting.

You can tell what a man is by what he does when he hasnt anything to do.

You can't measure the heart of a champion.

I watched them tearing a building down A gang of men in a busy town. With a Ho-Heave-Ho, a lusty yell They swung a beamand a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, 'Are these men skilled And the men you'd hire if you had to build?' 'For the most part,' he said, 'No indeed. Just common labor is all I need. 'I can easily wreck in a day or two What builders have taken a year to do.' And I thought to myself, as I went away, Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder, who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square? Am I shaping my deeds to a well made plan? Patiently doing the things I can? Or, am I a wrecker, who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down?

You dont have to tell how you live each day, You dont have to say if you work or you play, A tried, true barometer serves in the place, However you live, it will show in your face. The false, the deceit that you bear in your heart Will not stay inside where it first got a start; For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace What you wear in your heart, you wear in your face. If your life is unselfish, if for others you live, For not what you get, but how much you can give; If you live close to God in his infinite grace You dont have to tell it, it shows in your face.

I am building a character that shall never know completion. May I, as the days come and go, ever draw nearer to God through service to His children.

Reputation is what the world thinks a man is; character is what he really is.

Cherish things while you still have them, before they're gone, and you realize how precious they really are.

It is never too late to have a happy childhood.

If you deny childhood, you deny life. They cant speak up for themselves so we must. Its like, how do we define love, its a very, very deep feeling, but its I think the most important force of life.

Children are one-third of our population and all of our future.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldnt have said.

It is better to build children than to repair adults.

Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.

One of the greatest mysteries of life is how the idiot that your daughter married can be the father of the smartest grandchildren in the whole wide world.

Soft is the heart of a child; do not harden it.

I guess one reason we worry so much about our children is that were afraid theyll grow up to be like us.

It distresses parents when children who should obey them, instead imitate them.

Children are not born as young ladies and gentlemen, honest, upright and clean, but are so as a result of their training.

Permissiveness and inconsistency with growing children do them more harm than some physical ailments.

By the time a child starts school the extent and duration of his education has already largely been decided for the 'imprint' of his cultural setting is fixed in the first five years.

God gave this child to you to guide, To love, to walk through life beside. A little child so full of charms, To fill a pair of loving arms. God picked you out because he knew How safe his child would be with you.

No one can say the job of bringing up children is easy. There are no perfect rules which will work or are even correct for all children. All the advice given must be adjusted for the particular child and the particular parents.

Children used to be let out of school so they could work now they are sent there so their mothers can.

There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and his mother's age.

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

'Dear Mom and Dad,' a young college student wrote, 'I havent heard from you for a long time. Please send a check so that I will know that youre all right.'

It is always preferable to visit home with a friend. Your parents will not be pleased with this plan, because they want you all to themselves and because in the presence of your friend, they will have to act like mature human beings....

Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.

The Chinese word for garden combines forms for soil, landforms, a well, and an enclosure plus trees. It is generally interpreted as a man-made place for recreation containing three elements: flowers, trees, fishpond; buildings; and, an artificial mountain.

I am a serious chocoholic. For the serious chocoholic, chocolate is better than sex. If you believe that, you REALLY need to meet that special someone who can change your mind. If you HAVE met that special someone and still believe that, I REALLY NEED to know where you get your chocolate!!!

A chocolate in the mouth is worth two in the box.

A day without chocolate is a day without sunshine.

Chocolate doesn't make the world go around ... but it certainly makes the ride worthwhile!

Chocolate flows in deep dark, sweet waves, a river to ignite my mind and alert my senses

Chocolate: Here today ... Gone today!

Chocolate in the morning is what makes moms get through their day!

Chocolate is good for three things. Two of 'em cannot be mentioned on public television.

Chocolate is the best when it melts so creamy and soft in your mouth and it slides down your throat.

Chocolate The breakfast of champions!

Forget love-- I'd rather fall in chocolate!!!

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

If life is like a box of chocolates, then its time for me to buy another box, I seemed to have already devoured all the good ones!

If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devasated.

In the beginning, the Lord created chocolate, and he saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the dark, and it was better.

Life is like a box of chocolates, the best ones are half eaten!!

Life without chocolate is like a beach without water.

Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but woman sure can.

Put 'eat chocolate' at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Put the chocolate in the bag and nobody gets hurt.

Seen recently on a tee shirt ~ EMERGENCY ALERT: If wearer of this shirt is found vacant, listless, or depressed, ADMINISTER CHOCOLATE IMMEDIATELY.

Simply put ... everyone has a price, mine is chocolate!

This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women ... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates.

I don't understand why so many 'so called' chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said.

Exercise is a dirty word.... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

Nuts just take up space where chocolate ought to be.

Everything I eat should contain either garlic or chocolate, but rarely both

Nobody knows the truffles I've seen!

Some people lose sight of the fact that of two evils, it isnt necessary to choose either.

A legend of long ago says that the devil gave a hermit the choice of three great vices, one of which was drunkenness. The hermit chose this as being the least sinful; he became drunk, and then he committed the other two.

Its a lot easier to tell what you would do if you had the right chance than to show what you did with the chance you had.

When we choose a road, we choose the place where it ends.

He who chooses the beginning of a road also chooses its destination.

You become like those who you idealize, admire and follow.

Christ has no hands but our hands, to do his work today. He has no feet but our feet, to lead men in his way. He has no lips but our lips, to tell men how he died; He has no self but ourselves, to bring men to his side. What if our hands are busy, with other work than his? What if our feet are straying where sins allurement is? What if our lips are saying the things his lips would scorn? How can we hope to help him, and hasten his return?

Like you, I am broken and fragile Like you, I am tasting my heart for the first time Like you, I am feeding on slumber Like you, I've left my eyes far behind me Down for the count and still drowning.

When the world is at its worst, Christians must be at their best.

What a situation! Our 6 year old Amy wont tell us what she wants for Christmas. She says she told Santa.

Let us pray that strength and courage abundant be given to all who work for a world of reason and understanding, that the good that lies in every mans heart may day by day be magnified, that men will come to see more clearly not that which divides them, but that which unites them, that each hour may bring us closer to a final victory, not of nation over nation, but of man over his own evils and weaknesses, that the true spirit of this Christmas season its joy, its beauty, its hope, and above all its abiding faith may live among us, that the blessings of peace be ours the peace to build and grow, to live in harmony and sympathy with others, and to plan for the future with confidence.

Having the church full of members is like the wood-box full of sticks its a handy place to have them but they dont do any good till they catch fire.

We are to be more than mere church members, for church membership alone will not save us. It is what we do with our membership that counts.

There are stowaways in church, too, who hide out, hoping to make the journey without either paying or earning their way.

An honest government official is one who has not had a good enough offer.

Civilization is a slow process of adopting the ideas of minorities.

Never clarify tomorrow what you can obscure today.

On a clear day you can see forever.

On a clear disk you can seek forever.

Our clock of life, wound up in the womb, begins to run down at the very moment of birth. Everyday, we die a little.

The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hand will stop. At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still.

Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.

Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set.

Moderately drunk, coffee removes vapours from the brain, occasioned by fumes of wine, or other strong liquors; eases pains in the head, prevents sour belchings, and provokes appetite.

It's not the cold, it's the lack of humidity.

Nothings so cold as closing the heart when all we need is to free the soul.

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere.... I'm all alone, More or less. Let me fly far away from here. Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun.

If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.

Written in the dust on the back of a bus. Wickenburg, Arizona. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane.

The Ten Commandments of Gardening Thou shalt be patient till it's thyme to garden Thou shalt be outstanding in thy field Thou shalt lovingly care for the Earth Thou shalt weed thy garden diligently Thou shalt take time to smell the flowers Thou shalt keep a fresh from the garden attitude Thou shalt give freely of the bounty of thy harvest Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors soil Thou shalt listen to your Garden Angels Thou shalt bloom where you are planted and grow strong under God's tender care.

I should make sure that my commitment to the Savior overrides everything.

One day a little frog fell into a large wagon wheel rut. He tried and tried to get out but he could not. A frog friend heard of his plight and come to see if he could help. To his amazement, he found his friend out of the rut. 'How did you do it?' 'I had to,' replied the frog. 'A wagon was coming.'

The common cold, if left untreated, lasts about two weeks. If treated with medication and rest, it lasts about fourteen days.

The one thing you cannot teach a person is common sense.

When in doubt, communicate!

Communication is the universal solvent.

The Lord gave us two ears and one mouth; use them in proportion.

Trying to settle a problem with oratory is like attempting to unsnarl a traffic jam by blowing horns.

Competition doesn't create character, it exposes it.

If competitive advantage can be achieved from just-in-time participatory management styles, then bottom-line oriented organizations can better facilitate their gain-sharing systems to network for the new global technologies. At my company, for example, detected casualties fluctuate between generic niche discontinuities and complementary enculturative yield functions.

The wheel that squeaks the loudest is the first to be replaced.

Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can do is take a complete rest.

There is no subject, however complex, which if studied with patience and intelligence will not become more complex.

If you cant fix it on the road, its too complicated.

THE Hunter and the Bear ... The Sory of a Perfect Compromise The hunter sighted his quarry, and raised his rifle to fire. The bear, raising a paw, said, 'Now just a minute friend; can't we talk this over like two rational, intelligent, progressive beings?

To err is human and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee that will do them in.

Never let a computer know youre in a hurry.

Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1-1/2 tons.

The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea.

As a computer, I find your faith in technology amusing. .

Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.

Computers will not be perfected until they can compute how much more than the estimate the job will cost.

Don't anthropomorphize computers. They don't like it.

Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.

One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.

Computers are stupid they do exactly what you tell them to do.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

Some people jump to conclusions while others dig for facts.

Folks are quick to condemn a man who does wrong ... Unless hes a church member and then they condemn the church.

You won't even get started if you wait for all the conditions to be 'just right.'

General Conference is a beautiful merging of music, song, speech and the spirit.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

Confidence is the companion of success.

If you can't get people to listen to you any other way, tell them it's confidential.

Nobody can live longer in peace than his neighbor pleases.

CONGRESS.SYS Corrupted: Re-boot Washington D.C? (Y/n) .

If pro is the opposite of con, is Progress the opposite of Congress?

A Congressional promise to the Troops at Valley Forge for a sumptuous Thanksgiving resulted in 'half a gill of rice and a tablespoon of vinegar.' Times don't change.

There is no pleasure in life equal to that of the conquest of a vicious habit.

Conscience is the voice of the soul.

Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.

My conscience doesn't keep me from doing things. It does keep me from enjoying them.

Sometimes when a person thinks his mind is getting broader, it is just his conscience stretching.

There is a difference between him who does no misdeeds because of his own conscience and him who is kept from wrongdoing because of the presence of others.

When you have no observers be afraid of yourself.

Your conscience never stops you from doing anything. It just stops you from enjoying it.

Conscious is when you are aware of something and conscience is when you wish you weren't.

Woman interviewed by Bishop: Would you give to the Kingdom two houses? Yes. Would you give two cars? Yes. Would you give two horses? No. Why not? I have two horses.

Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time.

Consideration is the parent of wisdom.

Consistency isn't a necessary aspect of life. The universe is unfinished, you know.

The control center of your life is your attitude.

The secret of success in conversation is to be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

The world is run by 'C' students.

There are so many men who can figure costs, and so few who can measure values.

There can be no secret in life and morals because nature has provided that every beautiful thought you know and every precious sentiment you feel shall shine out of your face, so that all that are great enough may see, know and understand.

It demoralizes any community to give them gold and silver to their hearts content. But give them iron and coal, good hard work, plenty to eat, good schools, and good doctrines and it will make them a healthy, wealthy, and happy people

Courage consists not so much in avoiding danger as in conquering it.

It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid.

Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.

Often the test of courage is not to die, but to live.

To boldly go where no one has gone before.

Only those who do nothing at all make no mistakes ... but that would be a mistake.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.

No man is too big to be courteous, but some are too little.

Covenants are the means whereby men link themselves to God in order to lay hold upon eternal life.

Crashing silent, broken down, falling into night Who gave up and who gave in, I'll go without a fight Cut me down or cut me dead, cut me in or out Kiss me blind time after time, take away my doubt.

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.

You actually care about those creatures, you're just as crazy as they are.

All my friends and I are crazy. That's the only thing that keeps us sane.

Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.

Creative thinking is no substitute for hard work.

We can only paint with the colors we've stirred up within us.

Crises bring out the best in the best of us, and the worst in the worst of us.

It's easy to criticize; it's like shooting fish in a barrel

The real aim of criticism is not the destruction of cherished traditions although a due regard for the facts does often compel us to revise older opinions but a fuller appreciation of the beauty and truth of the creative work on which it fixes its regard. The word 'criticism' is derived from the Greek word kritikos, which means 'the ability to select or discriminate,' hence, to decide or judge. The meaning of criticism is thus discriminating judgment.

Always remember, no one can debase you but yourself. Slander, satire, falsehood, injusticethese can never rob you of your manhood. Men may lie about you, they may denounce you, they may cherish suspicions manifold, they may make your failings the target of their wit or cruelty. Never be alarmed; never swerve an inch from the line your judgment and conscience have marked out for you. They cannot, by all their efforts, take away your knowledge of yourself, the purity of your character, and the generosity of your nature. While these are left, you are unharmed.

Criticize, generalize everyone's strange Yet you choose to refuse to try and change And through your eyes you surmise what isn't there Because your dream isn't what it seems now you don't even care.

The tower in Pisa is straight the rest of the world is crooked.

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

The toughest part of getting to the top of the ladder, is getting through the crowd at the bottom.

Oh cruel fate ... why do you mock me?

My curiosity is my creativity on the way to discovery.

May the grass grow at your door and the fox build his nest on your hearthstone. May the light fade from your eyes, so you never see what you love. May your own blood rise against you, and the sweetest drink you take be the bitterest cup of sorrow. May you die without benefit of clergy; May there be none to shed a tear at your grave, and may the hearthstone of hell be your best bed forever.

Consumers are statistics. Customers are people.

Cynics are made, not born.

The daily grind of hard work gets a person polished.

An Unfailing Success Plan: At each days end write down the six most important things to do tomorrow; number them in order of importance, and then do them.

Each day I pray, God give me strength anew To do the tasks I do not wish to do; To yield obedience never asking why To love and own the truth and scorn the lie; To look the cold world bravely in the face.

If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for who we really are!

You've got to dance like no one's watching and love like it's never going to hurt.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.

Everything you need is around you; the danger lies within you.

Once upon a time a cat who prided herself on her wit and wisdom was prowling about the barn in search of food and saw a tail protruding from a hole. 'There is the conclusion of a rat,' she said. Then she crept stealthily toward it until within striking distance, when she made a jump and reached it with her claws. Alas! it was not the appendage of a rat, but the tail of a snake, who immediately turned and gave her a mortal bite. And if such a story has a moral, it surely must be that it is indeed dangerous to jump at conclusions.

The darkest hour is only 60 minutes long.

The country girl had been in the big university for some months but seemed depressed and discouraged. Her roommate tried to cheer her up. 'The first year is always the hardest. Remember you came here to get a college degree.' 'Oh yeah,' was the reply. 'I came to find a husband, but I havent even had a date.'

Dawn: the time when people of reason go to bed.

From an Egyptian papyrus letter, circa. 2000 BC Dear Mother: Im all right. Stop worrying about me.

I opened the old, old Bible, And looked at a page of Psalms, Till the wintry sea of my troubles Was soothed as by summer calms; For the words that have helped so many; And the ages have made more dear, Seemed new in their power to comfort, As they brought me their word of cheer.

Precious thought, my Father knoweth, In His love I rest; For whate'er my Father doeth. Must be always best.

There is a dignity in dying that doctors should not dare to deny.

Death is not the extinguishing of the light, but putting out the lamp because the Dawn has come.

Death and taxes may be certain, but we don't have to die every year.

The end of the world is coming. Please pay your bill so we don't have to look all over hell for you.

Indecision becomes decision with time.

The inability to make a decision has often been passed off as patience.

Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.

Decisions not resolutions.

Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.

When you are in deep water, it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut.

The best defence against the atom bomb is not to be there when it goes off.

Never precede any demo by a comment more predictive than 'Watch this!'.

Democracy is a government where you can say what you think even if you don't think.

Refuse Novocaine ... Transcend Dental Medication

If you get what you want, youll deserve it ... and if you dont, youll manage.

To have more, desire less.

We must educate our very desires, for God finally gives to each man the desires of his heart.

Your destiny is not always the one you seek, but always the one that finds you.

We have fired! They will be destroyed!

Dont get so involved in the timetable that you miss the train.

Determination is the down payment on sales achievement.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist.

A sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil.

Men don't believe in the devil now, as their fathers used to do? They've forced the door of the broadest creed to let his majesty through; There isn't a print of his cloven foot, or a fiery dart from his brow, To be found in the earth or air today, for th

They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend, and a dog is a man's best friend. What does that tell us about which sex is smarter.

It is difficult to believe that someone can differ from us and be right.

If you have a difficult task, give it to someone lazy, that person will find an easier way to do it.

The difficulties we experience Always illuminate the lessons we need most.

Eight things to do when difficulty hits you. 1. Keep calm, dont panic, dont get dramatic. 2. Dont nurse regrets, (forget what is over the dam). 3. Practice de-confusion (list it on paper). 4. Dont insist on a solution for the whole problem (just go one step at a time). 5. Ask yourself if the problem is right or wrong; (no wrong action works out right) (hold on to the right and you will come out all right in the end.). 6. Pray. 7. Go for a walk and talk with the Lord and then listen and believe. 8. Continue to persevere. You will somehow stay on top and come out all right.

Good luck is with the man who doesn't include it in his plan.

A diplomat is a man who says you have an open mind, instead of telling you that you have a hole in the head.

The distance drew near, like a speck on a ball Where circular imprints stepped from the light And whispered a slogan invented by anyone. So they all went along and yelled to the heavens Or some place as good.

Dividing 100% responsibility between two people gives 10% for each of them.

Is that what she thinks? Not realizing that alienation and patronization are slow torture? You find yourself listing to NIN, or something equally cliché... but you can't help it ... the pain stays for a while (it seems like forever). You want to lash back but how can you when you love that person. Why can't they remember all those wonderful moments that you do? So you lock your heart in brimstone, never to be touched again.

Large trees give more shade than fruit.

The shortest answer is doing the thing. The shortest answer is performing the request.

Try not! Do, or do not! There is no try!

Do what thou lovest; paint or sing or carve. Do what thou lovest, though the body starve! Who works for glory oft may miss the goal. Who works for money merely starves the soul; Work for the works sake, then, and, it may be, These other thingsll be added unto thee.

Do your best; get some fun out of life every day; put your trust in God.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.... doesn't God know I'm dense?

Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love until he's owned a dog. He can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me.... They must be Gods! A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me.... I must be a God!

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

Often when you find something worth doing, you also find folks trying to keep you from doing it.

Doing nothing gets pretty tiresome because you can't stop and rest.

There is no thrill quite like doing something you didn't know you could.

Doing your best today might not be important but its good practice for the time when it will be important.

Double negatives are a no-no.

Doubt is a thief that often makes us fear to tread where we might have won.

To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway.

To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow the star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to pass into hell for a heavenly cause And know if I'll only be true to the glorious quest That my heart lies peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered in scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow the star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause And to dream the impossible dream.

Show me somebody who doesnt have a dream about the future and Ill show you somebody who doesnt know where he is going.

No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big.

Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.

The key to happiness is having dreams. The key to success is making your dreams come true.

You'll never achieve your dreams if they don't become goals.

Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.

Your dreams come true when you act to turn them into realities.

No dream comes true until you wake up and go to work.

The game is never over, and the prize is never won. Broken doors, broken dreams, it's all the same thing. A door's purpose is to conceal the contents of a room, and dreams are the doors of the mind.

C. Clyde Squires read of a researcher who drank whiskey with water and got drunk! Drank brandy with water and got drunk. Same thing happened with rum and water. So he concluded that water was intoxicating.

Duty by habit turns into pleasure.

According to the ancient Greeks, when Hercules was a boy, just reaching the period of life when there was a question in his mind which path he should pursue, he went forth by himself and sat down and meditated. There came to him someone in the form of a beautiful young woman. 'Hercules, I know what you want,' she said 'the path that I will point out to you will bring pleasure, will bring you constant place in society, will bring you the choice things of life, to eat and to drink and clothing to wear. You shall be popular in the society in which you shall move, and your whole life will be one constant round of pleasure.' 'What is your name?' Hercules asked. 'My enemies call me Vice, but my friends call me Pleasure,' she replied. Then there appeared to him another beautiful woman and she said: 'Hercules, I shall not deceive you; the path I shall point out to you will be a path of labor, a path of toil, a path of self-sacrifice, a path in which you must devote a great deal of your effort and energy; you will have to forget yourself; you will have to serve your friends; you will have to serve the people of Greece; but if you will take this path and pursue it, although it may bring to you much toil and privation and many sacrifices, you shall become immortal.' Hercules asked: 'What is your name?' She replied: 'My name is Duty.'

Education should include knowledge of what to do with it.

Never let your studies interfere with your education.

The heart of education is the education of the heart.

Self-education education that never ends is a constant window to the east from which one can behold the promising colors of the sunrise.

Im opposed to any education which will give our children knowledge without morals to help them use it.

When you don't have an education, you've got to use your brains.

Education is very important. School, however, is another matter.

An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life.

The more I encourage a child to think for himself, the more he will care what I think.

Enthusiasm is very good lubrication for the mind.

Enthusiasm will be as contagious as ever.

Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.

If you can't get enthusiastic about your work, it's time to get alarmedsomething is wrong. Compete with yourself; set your teeth and dive into the job of breaking your own record. No one keeps up his or her enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efforts, new vision. It is your own fault if your enthusiasm is gone; you have failed to feed it. If you want to turn hours into minutes, renew your enthusiasm.

Those who are gonna burn in the end are those who are not on fire now.

Smoke hangs like haze over harvested fields, The gold of stubble, the brown of turned earth And you walk under the red light of fall The scent of fallen apples, the dust of threshed grain The sharp, gentle chill of fall.

Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.

Millions of years may pass away; The sun no longer shines by day; The stars burn out and lifeless be; The earth freezes up from sea to sea, And yet time never takes as toll The deathless substance of a soul.

Eternal Vigilance is the price of freedom.

It may seem like you are struggling alone and unseen; yet, you are on the center-stage of eternity.

Know this, that evry soul is free To choose his life and what hell be; For this eternal truth is givn That God will force no man to heavn. Hell call, persuade, direct aright, And bless with wisdom, love and light, In nameless ways be good and kind, But never force the human mind. Freedom and reason make us men; Take these away, what are we then? Mere animals, and just as well The beasts may think of heavn or hell. May we no more our powrs abuse, But ways of truth and goodness choose; Our God is pleased when we improve His grace and seek his perfect love.

This is an age-old truth: People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.

There are many who wait for their ships to come in, For their ships to come in from the sea. This question they ask as they watch and wait: 'Will a ship come home to me?' The answer comes swift from a voyager old, A voyager weathered and gray: 'Have you sent forth a craft with a cargo, friend? A craft that might some in today?' There are many who long for their ships to come in, That they from their cares may be free; But how could a ship come home to them When theyve sent no craft to sea?

If you are hurt by something external, it is not so much by the thing itself, but by your expectation of it.

You know, everyday I get out of bed and drag myself to the next cup of coffee. I take a sip and the caffeine kicks in. I can focus my eyes again. My brain starts to order the day. I'm up, I'm alive. I'm ready to rock. But the time is coming when I wake up and decide that I'm not getting out of bed. Not for coffee, or food, or sex. If it comes to me, fine. If it won't, fine. No more expectations. The longer I live the less I know. I should know more, I should know the coffee's killing me. You're suspicious of your suspicions? I'm jealous. I'm so jealous. You still have the heart to have doubts. Me? I'm going to lock up a 14 year old kid for what could be the rest of his natural life. I got to do this. This is my job. This is the deal. This is the law. This is my day. I have no doubts or suspicions about it. Heart has nothing to do with it anymore. It's all in the coffee.

You never have to worry about contradictions when you stick to the facts.

A man can fail many times but he isn't a failure until he gives up.

The only real failure in life is the failure to try.

Faith is sometimes equated with credulity, but it can be so equated only when the profound mistake is made of thinking of faith as primarily a matter of intellectual assent. As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities perhaps the fundamental quality of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.

Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing The dream that you wish will come true.

Plan ahead it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

When the congregation of a drought-stricken area gathered to pray for rain, the preacher said: 'Brethren, we are here to pray for rain. Where is your faith? Not one of you brought an umbrella!'

When you come to the end of everything you know And are faced with the darkness of the unknown, Faith is knowing one of two things will happen. Either there will be something solid for you to stand on, Or you will be taught how to fly.

A blind man inched his way along the busy street during the rush hour until he felt the curb with his foot. He paused until he sensed a person standing next to him, then he said: 'May I accompany you across the street?' 'Yes, certainly' came the reply from an elderly woman as she took his arm. The two persons walked safely across the street as cars and pedestrians whirled about them. When they came to the sidewalk on the other side of the street, the blind man turned to thank his escort, but before he could phrase his appreciation she said, 'Thanks for the safe crossing. Being blind is made bearable because of peoples kindness.'

About all you have to do to get a man to behave right is expect him to.

A persons journey through life is somewhat like a long walk through a forest on a dark night. Part of the way a companion carries a lantern, but then the path divides and one must go alone. If one carries his own lantern an inner light of faith he need not fear the darkness.

A little fish, overhearing a fisherman remark that water is essential to life, became panicky and swam desperately in search of water, until it reached the ocean and asked a wise old fish where it could find water. The old timer laughed and said, 'Why, you've never been out of water. Youve had water all the time, but you didnt know it.' So it is with faith; you have it, it is with you. You simply have to realize and use it and it will grow.

It is not faith and works; it is not faith or works; it is faith that works.

Faith is like water in a river bed. The more you have, the smoother it flows over the rocks.

A man, much in demand as an after dinner speaker, once mused: 'If there is applause at the beginning of a speech, it means Faith; if in the middle of the speech, it means Hope; if at the end, it means Charity.'

Church ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Fate only takes you so far. The rest is up to you.

Nothing would be done at all, if a man waited 'til he could do so well that no one could find fault with it.

All men/women have ten faults. Pick ten faults you can live with.

I guess its just as well its so difficult for some men to see their own faults it might be too discouraging.

Faults are thick where love is thin.

Extreme fear can neither fight nor fly.

Life's truest happiness is found in friendships we make along the way.

Frustration is not having anyone to blame but yourself.

Frustration is when you have ulcers but still aren't a success.

Frustration is commonly the difference between what you would like to be and what you are willing to sacrifice to become what you would like to be.

No one can forbid us the future.

The future belongs to those who dare.

The future lay sparkling ahead of us and we thought that we'd know each other forever

The nicest thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

The trouble with the future is that they keep moving it closer.

Your future lies ahead of you Like a sheet of fallen snow. Be careful where you take a step Because its sure to show.

The past cannot be changed, but the future is whatever you want it to be.

To live for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

A garden is a friend you can visit any time.

A garden is an expression of Man in a state of society.

Now in the east the white bean and the great squash are tied with the rainbow. Listen! the rain's drawing near! The voice of the bluebird is heard.

In my garden, love grows.

The wonderful thing about gardenbased learning is that it's a handson, mindson experience where my students and I learn together.

Whether you tend a garden or not, you are the gardener of your own being, the seed of your destiny.

A research project in Australia, entitled 'The Congruent Garden: an Investigation into the Role of the Domestic Garden in Satisfying Fundamental Human Needs,' interviewed gardeners on the values of gardening in their everyday lives. The researchers established that gardens have the potential to satisfy nine basic human needs (subsistence, protection, affection, understanding, participation, leisure, creation, identity, freedom) across four existential states (being, having, doing and interacting.)

Have you heard of the garlic diet? You don't lose much weight, but from a distance your friends think you look thinner.

There was a generation gap between Lucifer and his Father, but another Son understood deeper principles and carried on his Fathers work.

It's hard to know just where one generation ends and the next one begins, but it's somewhere around 9 P.M.

Genius: A person who aims at something no one else can see and hits it.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

The principal mark of genius is not perfection, but originality.

I wash everything on the gentle cycle. It's much more humane.

A big man is one who could look down on you, but wont.

Quite a number of people also describe the German classical author, Shakespeare as belonging to the English literature, because quite accidentally born at Stratford-on-Avon, he was forced by the authorities of that country to write in English.

Time spent in getting even would be better spent in getting ahead.

It's not a matter of growing old, it's getting old if you don't grow.

You know you're getting old when it takes to much effort to procrastinate.

The only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.

It's a gift to be simple....

What we are is Gods gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.

Ever notice that the area of a department store containing completely useless objects is called 'gifts?'

The best gifts are tied with heart strings.

Some people give and forgive; Others get and forget.

Give, and forget! Receive, and remember!

To give you must be willing to receive. To receive you must be willing to give.

Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a cat-nap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee.

The giver makes the gift precious.

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving

When it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing.

We generally admire the wisdom of those who come to us for advice.

Giving makes living more loving.

All that glitters has a high refractive index.

The metaphysics of global power has changed. Markets are now more valuable than territory, Information more powerful than military hardware.

And now someone's on the telephone desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine Someone's got his finger on the button in some room No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom.

All things come to him who goes after them.

If anything can't go wrong, it will.

Always reach for the moon, because if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Goal Setting: I Set Long Term Goals II Set Short Term Goals III Set Objectives IV Prioritize the Objectives V Define and Detail VI Do It VII Evaluate

Greediness often defeats its own ends, by making us scratch for every trifle when we should dig for gold alone.

Set Your Goals High Enough To Inspire You And Low Enough To Encourage You.

Its a great man wholl get behind and push others toward goals he himself hasnt the strength to reach.

Goal: an aim or objective, the end toward which effort is directed. Resolution: The quality of not allowing difficulties or opposition to affect ones purpose.

Goals that are not written down are just wishes.

Life magazine headlined in early 1945 that 'God is dead.' Before the year was out the magazine was bankrupt and God still lives!

I am a child of God.

It is the same lesson which mankind has refused to learn over the ages. It has been repeated for centuries. God and home are the most important influences for good in anyones life. Why do so many refuse to admit it and accept it?

We cannot be 'under God' unless we mean it and literally take his word as our pattern. If we pledge that under God we will be indivisible as a people providing liberty and justice for all, why do we not follow that commitment.

Dear Mom and Dad and Bill and Glad: Caught a fish. Camps a wow! Sleeping out is grand. Swimmings fun. Hikings fine. Food is full of sand. Fire at night. Moon is bright. Im all right Gods at hand. Have to run. Your son ... Brad.

No God, Know Fear. Know God, No Fear.

Where God gives, envy cannot harm, and where He gives not, all labor is in vain.

If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill.

Whatever you do for another, you do for yourself.

A gold-medal winner in life may not be the person who is the fastest, the strongest, the toughest, who has the admiration and cheers of the crowd but the person who has the courage to overcome adversity, overcome the thorns of life, the person who, in fact, has overcome the world.

A man has to do a lot of fine things in order to prove hes good only one evil one to prove hes bad.

The line between good and evil passes not between principalities and powers, but oscillates within the human heart. And even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isn't the will to do what is right.

Good cooking takes time. If you are made to wait, it is to serve you better.

Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.

Good enough isn't.

A good follow-through is just as important in management as it is in bowling, tennis, or golf. Follow-through is the bridge between good planning and good results

Good friends are so hard to come by: may we all value them when we find them.

The unspeakable law. As soon as you mention something. If it is good it goes away.... If it is bad it happens.

A lot of people have great ideas, but nothing in the world is cheaper than a good idea with no action.

The best way to keep good intentions from dying is to execute them.

There is only one rule to become a good talker, learn how to listen.

Let there be no limit to your goodness even as there is no limit to your Father in Heaven's goodness.

Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the breeze, The stronger the trees.

The way to do good is to be good.

All I do is help bad people find in themselves the good that I know is there.

Thy friend has a friend, and thy friends friend has a friend: be discreet.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

Gossip: entertaining oneself and others by talking about the personal affairs of others.

If you talk about someone behind their back, their back will be right behind you

It would probably be an improvement if more things we heard went out the other ear instead of the mouth.

Taking back what you have just said is like taking back vinegar youve just spilled in your drinking water.

Gossip neednt be false to be evil theres a lot of truth that shouldnt be passed around.

Anarchy may not be the best form of government, but its better than no government at all.

Giving power and money to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

Governments do not give people rights. The People give government power in order to protect their preexisting rights.

Pro is to con as progress is to congress.

Thank God we dont get all the government we pay for.

The new Congressmen say they're going to turn the government around. I hope I don't get run over again.

Everything the government gives out it has taken from someone else.

If the government wants people to respect the law, it should set a better example.

Give me a good digestion, Lord, And also something to digest.

Grain crops, or cereals, are by far the most important sources of plant food for the human race. On a world wide basis, they provide twothirds of the energy and half the protein of the diet. These crops are: wheat, rice, maize (corn), oats, barley, rye, sorghum, and millet.

The grass is greener on the other side, but it is just as hard to mow.

A newspaper subscriber commented: Since reading that report, I've made a conscious effort to recall my blessings nearly every hour. Instead of dreading the drudgery of cleaning house, I express gratitude for my home. I've found so many things to be grateful for, little things like running water and electricity. A few weeks ago, I complained because my knees ached; now I say how grateful I am that I can walk. I think it's important to express our gratitude out loud. The positive focus on gratitude has pushed out of my mind the negative thoughts that were dragging me down.

Keep a Gratitude Journal: Write five things each day for which you are grateful.

Here Rests in Honored Glory An American Soldier Known But to God.

Go climb a gravity well.

The greatest men are the simplest.

What man is there whom contact with a great soul will not exalt? A drop of water upon the petal of a lotus glistens with the splendors of the pearl.

One of our greatest disadvantages is to have too many advantages.

Some people come by greatness naturally; some by BMW.

Man is a gregarious creature, more so in mind than in body. He may like to go alone for a walk but he hates to stand alone in his opinion.

I am a Marxist of the Groucho tendency.

You don't grow rich by a big income, but by small expenses.

Never complain about growing old, Because so many never get the chance!

We should rehearse all the time to become the person we must become in order to return to our Father. Seek to surpass ourselves each day.

Today's mighty oak is yesterday's little nut that held its ground.

No private citizen has any reason or need at any time to possess a gun. This applies to both honest citizens and criminals. We realize the Constitution guarantees the 'right to keep and bear arms' but this should be changed.

The mere possession of a gun is, in itself, an urge to kill, not only by design, but by accident, by madness, by fright, by bravado.

The only way to discourage the gun culture is to remove the guns from the hands and shoulders of people who are not in the law enforcement business.

Habit is a cable, we weave a thread of it each day, and it becomes so strong we cannot break it.

You neednt be saddled with doing the same thing the rest of your life. Let the past and its habits be done with.

A magician pulls rabbits out of hats. An experimental psychologist pulls habits out of rats.

Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half.

If you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The question, 'Which is the happiest season of life?' was asked of an aged man. And he replied: 'When spring comes, and in the soft air the buds are breaking on the trees, and they are covered with blossoms, I think, 'How beautiful is spring'; and when summer comes and covers the trees with its heavy foliage, and singing birds are among the branches, I think, 'How beautiful is summer.' When autumn loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, 'How beautiful is autumn.' And when it is severe winter, and there is neither foliage nor fruit, then I look up through the leafless branches as I never could until now, and see the stars shine in God's home.'

Happiness consists in activity; such as the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.

Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you turn your attention to other things, It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.

Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It's a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have. It's so simpleyet so hard for the human mind to comprehend.

Happiness is not given but exchanged.

Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory.

Happiness is often the result of being too busy to be miserable.

Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed.

Happiness lies in our own backyard, but its probably well hidden by crabgrass.

He alone is the happy man who has learned to extract happiness not from ideal conditions but from actual ones about him.

I just want to be happy, and I'm so afraid that I never will be.

Much happiness is overlooked because it doesnt cost anything.

No one can secure happiness without earning it.

Some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

Some pursue happiness others create it.

Sometimes we miss happiness by looking too far for things nearby.

The city of happiness is in the state of mind.

The envious are not happy unless they are making other people envious.

The supreme happiness to life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves.

You have to find happiness in yourself before you can find it with someone.

I dont remember ever seeing a happy man who had nothing to do.

Those who put happiness into the lives of others will be unable to keep it out of their own.

Happiness seems to be the result of something happening inactivity is not very exhilarating.

The happiest people are those who discover that what they should be doing and what they are doing are the same thing.

Find joy and happiness in each stage of life as you live it.

Happiness is like jam. You can't spread even a little without getting some on yourself.

When people yearn with all their hearts For just one treasure far away; They close their eyes to countless joys That crowd around them every day.

Sharing with others is not the way to get rich its the way to get happy!

Take Time Take time to think It is the source of all power. Take time to read It is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to play It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to be quiet It is the opportunity to seek God. Take time to be aware It is the opportunity to help others. Take time to love and be loved It is Gods greatest gift. Take time to laugh It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly It is the road to happiness. Take time to dream It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray It is the greatest power on earth. Take time to give It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work It is the price of success. There is a time for everything....

Gather the crumbs of happiness and they will make you a loaf of contentment.

Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal.

The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.

Happiness is not always measured in smiles.

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Happiness is acceptance.

All the happiness you ever find lies in you.

The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains!

It's OK, once you get past the hard exterior.

Hardening of the heart ages people faster than hardening of the arteries.

Hard work never killed a man but it sure has scared a lot of them.

If hard work is the greatest thing on earth, I'll try Mars.

Every hard-boiled egg is yellow inside.

The person who has all the answers understands none of the problems.

'The road is too rough, dear Lord,' I cried, 'There are stones that hurt me so.' 'My child,' He said, 'I understand, I walked it long ago.' 'But there's a cool green path ahead, Let me walk there for a time.' 'No child,' He gently answered me, 'The green road does not climb.' 'My burden,' I cried, 'is far too great. How can I bear this load?' 'Dear One,' said He, 'I remember its weightI carried my cross, you know.' 'But,' I said, 'I wish there were friends with me, that would make their way my own.' 'Oh yes,' He said, 'Gethsemane was hard to bear alone.' And so I climbed the stony path, Content at least to know That where the Master had not gone, I would not have to go. And strangely then I found new friends, My burdens grew less sore, As I remembered long ago He walked that way before.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.

Thalidomide is not the first nor the last drug to have brought heartbreak where it was meant to bring help. There have been quite a number of other tragedies since Thalidomide went wrong 13 years ago.

We squander health In search of wealth; We scheme and toil, and save, Then squander wealth In search of health; And all we gets the grave; We live and boast of what we own; We die ... and only get a stone.

I am hearing the brightness of high bluffs and almond trees. I am tasting the wilderness of lakes, rivers and streams, caught in an angle of sound.

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heartnot his head.

You still don't get it, do you? He'll find her. That's what he does. All he does... You can't stop him. He'll wade through you, reach down her throat and pull her heart out.

You tell him I'm coming! And hell's coming with me!

If anyone accepts my help who doesn't need it, that's his problem; if I refuse my help to anyone who needs it, that's my problem.

When you help someone up a hill, you're that much nearer the top yourself.

The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm.

As you get older, you must remember that you have a second hand. The first one to help yourself, the second one is to help others.

Thousands and thousands of acres in the United States are being sprayed annually with nearly 50 million pounds of Roundup, a broadspectrum herbicide designed to kill any plant it hits, unless the plant has been genetically altered to tolerate the chemical. Roundup has accounted for half of Monsanto's corporate profits in recent years.

Heredity: Something you believe in when your childs report card is all As.

And as cliché as it may sound I'd like to raise another round. And if your bottles empty, Help yourself to mine. Thank you for your time. And here's to life.

The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future.

The world needs more Heroes.

Good men usually have around them somebody who expects them to be better than they have any intention of being.

O yell take the high road, and Ill tak the low road, And Ill be in Scotland afore ye, But me and my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lomon

To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way, And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul gropes the low, And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth The way his soul shall go.

After you've heard two eyewitness accounts of an auto accident it makes you wonder about history. How do we know, for sure, what ever happened anywhere?

The eagle soaring majestically Beholds the lion prowling From now until eternity The philosopher shall be howling And the hoi polloi shall be scowling.

Bury me above the clouds, all the way from here. Take away the things I need, take away my fear. Hide me in a hollow sound, happy ever more. Everything I had to give, gave them long before.

One hologram is worth 1,000,000,000 words.

Home is wherever my books are.

Where we love is truly home; home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still: Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's Will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now while life remaineth You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!

Men make houses, women make homes.

If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

All men with honor are kings but not all kings have honor.

Honor is ... what no man can give ye, and no one can take away. Honor is a mans gift to himself.

When time has run its course, honorable men will triumph.

Women are the heart of honor and we cherish and protect it in them. You must never mistreat a woman, or malign a man. Or stand by and see another do so.

Deserve honor by your own virtue.

Honor is like the eye, which cannot suffer the least impurity without damage. It is a precious stone, the price of which is lessened by a single flaw.

Your kid may be an honors student, but you're still an idiot.

Never deprive someone of hope it may be all they have.

Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation.

Horn broken. Watch for finger.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Horsepower was a wonderful thing when only horses had it.

We who belong to that Profession [of housewife] hold the fate of the world in our hands.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don't let them down.

Have you hugged someone today?

Man has now conquered almost everything in nature except human nature.

You can't expect people to look eye to eye with you if you are looking down on them.

You cant really be strong until you see a funny side to things.

It takes a baby approximately two years to learn to talk, and between 60 and 75 years to learn to keep his mouth shut.

So you say you're a hypochondriac. How do you know you just don't think you're a hypochondriac?

Hypocrite: Someone who complains that there is too much sex and violence on his VCR.

In the cathedral at Lubek, Germany, near the turn of the century was the following inscription: Ye call me master, and obey me not; Ye call me light, and seek me not; Ye call me way, and walk me not; Ye call me wise, and follow me not; Ye call me fair, and love me not; Ye call me rich, and ask me not; Ye call me eternal, and seek me not; Ye call me gracious, and trust me not; Ye call me noble, and serve me not; Ye call me mighty, and honor me not; Ye call me just, and fear me not; If I condemn you, blame me not.

Some people are mere 'Bible Christians' where all the Christianity remains in the Bible and none of it gets into them.

People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because its safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

I care not whether I am dying or not; for if I die I shall be with God; if I live, He will be with me. Author Unknown

I wish I was What I was When I wished I was What I am now.

I am not moved, Lord, to love Thee Because of that Heaven Thou has promised me. Nor am I so moved by that fearful Hell, That I would stop offending Thee. But seeing Thee, nailed to a cross and ridiculed, That moves me. Seeing Thy body so wounded ... That moves me. Thy insults and Thy death ... That moves me. In the end, it is Thy love that moves me. For though there were no Heaven, I would love Thee. And though there were no Hell, I would fear Thee.

Any idea that was not put in by reason cannot be taken out by reason.

Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't have to hear all about the men she could've married, and she didn't have to hear all about the dishes his mother cooked. .

Ideas are very much like children your own are wonderful.

Ideas, and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind.

There is no greater curse than total idleness.

If nobody minds, it doesn't matter.

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered And nobody helped along, If every man looked after himself And good things all went to the strong, If nobody cared just a little for you, And nobody thought about me, And we all stood alone in the battle of life, What a dreary old world this would be!

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

All you need is a can of shaving cream, some liquid nitrogen, and a good imagination.

Intellect marches, but imagination rambles.

My eyes can only see and my ears can only hear. Only my mind can conceive all that which I think I fear. Imagination charms me but often leads me astray. And like a labyrinth sometimes it's hard to see the right way.

Your imagination is your world.

In our imagination, what we behold, we become.

That each day I may walk unceasingly on the banks of my water, that my soul may repose on the branches of the trees which I planted, that I may refresh myself under the shadow of my sycamore.

Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.

Nothing relieves the monotony of a job like finding ways to improve it.

'Your task? To build a better world,' God said. I answered, 'How?' This world is such a large vast place So complicated now. And I so small and useless am. There is nothing I can do.' But God in all his wisdom said, 'Just build a better you.'

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

Reasons For Low Activity & Service: 1. Lack of understanding. 2. Lack of acceptance. 3. Lack of obedience. 4. Lack of good works.

Indecision is a form of dependency: you are waiting for somebody to give you an answer.

You tell on yourself by the friends you seek, By the very manner in which you speak, By the way you employ your leisure time, By the use you make of dollar and dime. You tell what you are by the things you wear, By the spirit in which you your burdens bear, By the kind of things at which you laugh, By the records you play on your phonograph. You tell what you are by the way you walk, By the things of which you delight to talk, By the manner in which you bear defeat, By so simple a thing as how you eat. By the books you choose from a well-filled shelf In these ways, and more, you tell on yourself. So really there's not a grain of sense In trying to keep up a false pretense.

Respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, ... and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.

Do infants have as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultery?

Inflation is the one form of taxation which even the weakest government can enforce, when it can enforce nothing else.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is one of the more insidious statistics developed by our government because it directs the hostility of the inflation-weary public toward business and the marketplace instead of toward the cause: government mismanagement of currency and credit.... Real prices are not going up! The value of currency is going down.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

We are drowning in information and starved for knowledge.

Any information is valuable to the degree that you can use it.

Beware of food products whose ingredients are in quotation marks.

We did not inherit the land from our forefathers- we are borrowing it from our children.

Don't expect anything original from an echo.

Nations and individuals alike must never look solely to outside sources for help. In addition, they must also look within themselves to tap a source of inner strength that can and does enable men and nations to achieve far beyond their ordinary capacities.

Even if the voices are not real, they have some good ideas.

Insecurity exists in the absence of knowledge.

Inspiration: There is no man upon the earth, no foolish man or wise, No man of high or humble birth but somewhere in the skies Can find a star to lead him on if he will lift his eyes.

The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment.

The threshold of insult is in direct relation to intelligence.

The most effective answer to an insult is silence.

Without love intelligence is dangerous; without intelligence love is not enough.

I wish TV had a knob so you could turn up the intelligence. The one marked Brightness doesn't seem to work.

When you find a job you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life.

The journey is more important than the destination.

Do not judge other people, just snicker at them.

A judge should be about sixty, clean shaven, with white hair, china-blue eyes, and suffer from hemorrhoids so that he will have that concerned look.

We spent all night learning an important lesson. You can't judge a sewer by its manhole cover. No sir. People can be very different under the surface than they might seem. Quiet, mild- mannered souls might just turn out to be roaring lions of two-fisted cool. And roaring lions of two-fisted cool just might have some crippling lobster problems! Listen man, it's all crazy down there under the surface. A lost wallet could bite you in half. A bar of soap could save your life. Egad, a disgusting mound of muck just might have some very compelling ideas.

Most of the folks I know who have good luck seem to have good judgment too.

I don't know why. You don't know why. Most likely God doesn't know why, either. It's just Government business, that's all.

Justice, n.: A decision in your favor.

Always keep a record of data it indicates you've been working.

Keep cool, but do not freeze.

You just gotta keep going on. Get up, and do your job. Go to work, get through each day, one day at a time, like that. And you hope that one day, you'll get up and it'll hurt a little less. You just gotta just get through it. You just go on. It's that simple.

Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow perhaps it all will.

A leading authority is anyone who has guessed right more than once.

I Hear, I See, I Do, I Learn: What I hear, I don't remember. What I see, I don't forget. What I do, I learn.

Life is like a piano ... what you get out of it depends on how you play it.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

Life was not meant to be observed, it was meant to be stolen

Life would have no consequence, If all I saw made perfect sense. Life would not be magical, If all I saw was logical. So I question all I see, To try and solve the mystery. I've been living under delusion, Led astray by my confusion.

No one finds life worth living; he must make it worth living.

Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we all hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while and admit the truth that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually beautiful. Possibly even me.

Embrace life.

Draw in the breath of life, and as you breathe, smile.

It is sad indeed to die in your spirit while you live in your body. It is equally tragic to be asleep in life when you should be wide awake to this great world.

Those who have lived a good life do not fear death, but meet it calmly, and even long for it in the face of great suffering.

You got to put it in here and rinse it off and start over again, and sometimes you know, a mop ... a mop is not good enough you, you got to get down there like with a toothbrush, you know, and you get to really scrub to get it clean ... you got to get it off, you got to really try to get it off ... and if that doesn't work, if that doesn't work you can't give up. You got to stand right up, you got to run to a window and say 'Hey these floors are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!'
