Only Jesus Christ is uniquely qualified to provide that hope, that confidence, and that strength we need to overcome the world and rise above our human failings. To do so, we must place our faith in Him and live by His laws and teachings.

If you turn your life over to the Lord he can do so much more with it than we can.

One good yardstick as to whether a person might be the right one for you is this: in her presence, do you think your noblest thoughts, do you aspire to your finest deeds, do you wish you were better than you are?

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do a great deal if we choose our goals well and work diligently to attain them.

The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others.

You are free to choose, but you are not free to alter the consequences of your decisions.

Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.
