No man's faith, no man's religion, no religion in all the world can ever rise above the truth.

The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired.

At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life.

Spare yourselves from the indulgence of self-pity. It is always self-defeating. Subdue the negative and emphasize the positive.
