Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.

At Cana, [Mary] gave Him as a Savior to sinners; on the Cross He gave her as a refuge to sinners.

Nature gives man corn but he must grind it; God gives man a will but he must make the right choices.

Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.

Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.

Man is incurably curious.

To value only what can be "sold" is to defile what is truly precious. The innocent joy of childhood, the devotedness of a wife, the self sacrificing service of a daughter--none of these have an earthly market. To reduce everything to the dirty scales of economic values is to forget that some gifts, like Mary's, are so precious that the heart that offers them will be praised as long as time endures.
