I don't know who I'm quoting, but I like it!

"Do onto others as you'de have them do onto you"

I have several, here is one of them...



Elisabeth Kubler Ross.... "It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had."

Faith wouldn't be faith without having to trust what is unseen. God wants us to put one foot in front of the other, and just step out on faith.


and the other one i like is:

We are God's idea. We are His. His face. His eyes. His hands. His touch... There is no greater truth than this: We are His. Unalterably. He loves us. Undyingly. --- Max Lucado

It's the little things that get us
And put us on the rack
You can sit upon the mountain
But not upon the tack

I learned this from my eigth grade science teacher, Mr. Lee.  It's the only thing I'm sure I learned that year.

I adore Maya Angelou's quotes.  I am a Sunday School teacher for middle grade girls and so much of what she says can be encouraging to young ladies.

"Living life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you'll end wrong."
"If you don't like something, change it.  If you can't change it, change your attitude.  Don't complain!"
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.  In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it."

I also like these:

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.  I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."  Louisa May Alcott

"Human beings, who are almost unique in their ability to learn from the experiences of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."  Douglas Adams

"A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."  Arabian Proverb

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is."  Proverbs 14:1

"What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?"  Unknown

"Smooth seas never made a skillful sailor."  Unknown

And of course, anything from the Bible will inspire in the most wonderful way!
