The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
A patient willingness to defer dividends is a hallmark of individual maturity.
Oh, how great the plan of our God!
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us; pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
