Some of the greatest values that have influenced me through the years are those that I learned as a boy growing up on the farm. I remember mostly the love in our family, but I also remember the discipline. Then there was the work; we all had to work.

The same sun that melts the butter hardens the clay.

Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.

The reason we have this inner conviction that death is not the end - and that Heaven exists - is because we were created in the image of God.

Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality.

First of all, you have to meet God with light! I do not believe that any man, that any man can solve the problems of life without Jesus Christ.

For the Christian, all is not hopeless unless his affections are centered on the things of this world.
