“Do not go where the path

may lead, go instead

where there is no path

and leave a trail"

“There is no distinguished

group you cannot belong to

"

He who talks does not know and he who

knows does not speak

And in the end, it’s not the years in

your life that count. It’s the life in yo

ur years.

It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

"Because your own strength is

unequal to the task, do not assu

me that it is beyond the powers 

of man;

but if anything is within the pow

ers

and province of man, believe th

at it

is within your own compass also

."

Many People have sight but how many have vision.

Carpe Diem

Never say never

"Believe you can and

you're halfway there."

"For I know the plans I

have for you," declares 

the LORD, "plans to

prosper

you and not to harm yo

u,

plans to give you hope 

and a future" 

In life you make decisions, and never look backThe most dangerous man

on earth is he who has no purpose
