The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty.
It matters not the subject taught, nor all the books on all the shelves, What matters most, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves.
How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character.
Discipline yourself, and others won't need to.
Good values are like a magnet – they attract good people.
Don't whine, complain, or make excuses.
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested. The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid. And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us.
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
I hold conferences, and the result of that was that the secular community also started picking up my stuff, and pretty soon they wanted more. So I realized I could not only minister to the Christian community, but I could also minister to the corporate community. So my books started crossing over, and then I began to intentionally have them cross over.
Grace and gratitude go together like heaven and earth.
