Greg IlesI realize that people fly with small children all the time, and that babies are easier in some ways because all they do is sit/lie around anyway, but damn it's hard to keep a baby comfortable on any flight, much less a long one, particularly amid the looks of horror they will get from fellow passengers as it dawns on them that their 10- to 13-hour flight might come with a soundtrack of screaming baby.

Mary Roberts RinehartProcrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now.

Denis WaitleyAdversity is not simply a tool. It is God's most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives.
