Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.

Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.

Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.

Stand true to your calling to be a man. Real women will always be relieved and grateful when men are willing to be men

The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the "real" living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention? If, when the time has come for a commitment, he is not man enough to ask her to marry him, she should give him no reason to presume that she belongs to him.
