We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.

It's service, not status, that counts.

It is our job to lift others up, not to size them up.

Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve; he spoke of "this day," while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.

Within what is allotted to us, we can have spiritual contentment.

I fear that, as conditions worsen, many will react to the failures of too much government by calling for even more government. Then there will be more and more lifeboats launched because fewer and fewer citizens know how to swim. Unlike some pendulums, political pendulums to not swing back automatically; they must be pushed. History is full of instances when people have waited in vain for pendulums to swing back.

Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!
