Random Quotes and Quotations
 The best thing must be to flee from all to the All.  My sister says she never seems to get it together . . . either her rear looks good or her face does. Being unready and ill-equipped is what you have to expect in life. It is the universal predicament. It is your lot as a human being to lack what it takes. Circumstances are seldom right. You never have the capacities, the strength, the wisdom, the virtue you ought to have. You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen as appropriate for your special endowments. You create your opportunities by asking for them. You will never know true happiness until you have truly loved, and you will never understand what pain really is until you have lost it. The greatest happiness in the world is to make others happy. And they were offended in him.

Men who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered when others gave up in despair, have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success so often erroneously attributed to good luck. A friend in power is a friend lost. We were worried that our main speaker wouldn't be able to make it tonight. But, fortunately, due to a hole in the prosecution's case . . . It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that, to break a man's spirit is devil's work. When praying for healing, ask great things of God and expect great things from God. But let us seek for that healing that really matters, the healing of the heart, enabling us to trust God simply, face God honestly, and live triumphantly. Success doesn't necessarily make you a happy person ... but without the confidence and security that comes from being totally happy, I believe you cannot achieve your true potential and ultimate success.
