Random Quotes and Quotations
 A Christian is a man who feels Repentance on a Sunday For what he did on Saturday And is going to do on Monday.  If you hit a pony over the nose at the outset of your acquaintance, he may not love you but he will take a deep interest in your movements ever afterwards. Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen. A little kingdom I possess, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find Of governing it well. To find in ourselves what makes life worth living is risky business, for it means that once we know we must seek it. It also means that without it life will be valueless. There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting. No rose without a thorn. Punctuality is the thief of time. Most of life is routine-dull and grubby, but routine is the mountain that keeps a man going. If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street. How we love to blame others for our misfortunes! Almost every individual who has lost money in stock speculation has on the tip of his tongue an explanation which he trots out to show that it wasn't his own fault at all.... Hardly one loser has the manliness to say frankly, "I was wrong." Never resist temptation: prove all things: hold fast that which is good. As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honour and praise. The next, the people fear, and the next the people hate. When the best leader's work is done, the people say, 'we did it ourselves!' - Lao-Tzu January grey is here, Like a sexton by her grave; February bears the bier, March with grief doth howl and rave, And April weeps - but, O ye hours! Follow with May's fairest flowers. The possibilities are unlimited as long as you are true to your life's purpose. Let us be brave in the face of adversity. I can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. It's all how you look at it. Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit. The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving. I have always been waiting for something better-sometimes to see the best I had snatched from me. You just have to learn not to care about the dust mites under the beds.
