what you will have.

5. Success stops when you do.

6. When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are
willing to unload it.

unless they are shared.

13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.

14. We often fear the thing we want the most.

15. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to

24. A person who asks a question might be a
fool for five minutes, but a person who doesn't ask,
is a fool forever.

to find, and lucky to have.

26. A friend is someone who reaches for your
hand but touches your heart.

27. A coincidence is when God performs a
miracle, and decides to remain anonymous.


28. I don't have to attend every argument I'm
invited to.

29. Your worst days are never so bad that you
are beyond the reach of God's grace ...
and your best days are never so good that you
are beyond the need of God's grace.

30. Our eyes are placed in front because it is
more important to look ahead than to look back.

Corinthians 13:4-5

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no records of wrongs.
