Trust your hopes, not your fears

Nothing ruins the truth quite like stretching it.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeks.

Give it all you’ve got because you never know if there’s going to be a next time.

Be a good listener.  Your ears will never get you in trouble.

Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best.

When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

We are all capable of greater things than we realize.

Build yourself up by competing with yourself.

Always keep on surpassing yourself.

Every person has lovable qualities when you really learn to know him.

If you put off everything till you’re sure of it, you’ll never get anything done.

When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

You can never cross the ocean unlewss you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.

Forget yourself for others and others will not forget you.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.

God plus one is always a majority.

When things go wrong, don’t go wrong with them.

God intervenes in the affairs of men by invitation only.

The company you keep will determine the trouble you meet.

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained.

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.

With men it is impossible; but to God all things are possible.

Who refreshes others will be refreshed.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

It is done unto you as you believe.

Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.

The mind is like a parachute.  It doesn’t work unless it’s open.
