Quotes About Victory

See, see how the sun has moved onward while we talked. Nothing can stop it in its course. Prayers cannot halt the revolving of nature. It is the same with human life.

Vengeance is not the point; change is.

So today we celebrate the gift of victory over every fall we have ever experienced, every sorrow we have ever known, every discouragement we have ever had, every fear we have ever faced-to say nothing of our resurrection from death and forgiveness for our sins.

Some people see no more in climbing mountains than an escape from the harsh realities of modern times. This is not only uninformed but unfair.

Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.
