Learn to do common things uncommonly well; we must always keep in mind that anything that helps fill the dinner pail is valuable.

Nature is the greatest teacher and I learn from her best when others are asleep. In the still dark hours before sunrise God tells me of the plans I am to fulfill.

Some things must be baffling to the critic who has never been born again.

God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His.
