"The time to relax is when you don't have time for it." ~ Sydney J. Harris
"The key is in not spending time, but in investing it." ~ Stephen R. Covey "To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing." ~ Eva Young PASSION
"Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark." ~ Henri Frederic Amiel "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."~ Oprah Winfrey "Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." ~ Albert Einstein "The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion." ~ Matthew Arnold
"You can do little about the length of your life, but you can do much about its width and depth." ~ H.L. Mencken "If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness." ~ Les Brown "People who exercise their freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally 'being lived.' [That is, until] they are acting out scripts written by parents, associates and society." ~ Stephen Covey When the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes—not that you won or lost—but how you played the Game."
~ Grantland Rice "I may win and I may lose, but I will never be defeated." ~ Emmitt Smith "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well." ~ The Olympic Creed "Winning isn't getting ahead of others, it is getting ahead of yourself." ~ Roger Staubach With Christmas right around the corner, it’s easy to let the busyness of the
season take our focus off of what’s really important. For me, one of my favorite parts of celebrating God’s gift of our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the opportunity to give generously to the people I love. And I make it my goal to keep my focus on that spirit of giving throughout the season. It helps me keep the parties and preparations in perspective, so I can truly experience the joy of giving. The gifts themselves don’t have to be elaborate or expensive. The heart of the giver is much more important than the contents of the gift box. When I give from the heart, I receive much in joy. I believe it truly is “more blessed to give than to receive.” Here are some of my favorite quotes on giving. I hope they help you focus on giving with love to the people in your life. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston Churchill "There are two kinds of gratitude: the sudden kind we feel for what we receive, and the larger kind we feel for what we give." ~ Edward Arlington Robinson “You cannot all abandon your possessions, but at least you can change your attitude about them. All getting separates you from others; all giving unites to others.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi “One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”~ Proverbs 11:24-25 “The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.” ~ Martin Luther “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson “That's what I consider true generosity. You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.” ~ Simone De Beauvoir “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”~ Albert Pike “It's easier to take than to give. It's nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.” ~ Joan Marques “There is a very real relationship, both quantitatively and qualitatively, between what you contribute and what you get out of this world.” ~ Oscar Hammerstein II “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” ~ Maya Angelou “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “There's a great joy in my giving. It's thrilling. It's exhilarating. It's important to be a part of sharing. It is my love. It is my joy.”~ W. Clement Stone "You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'"
~ George Bernard Shaw "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."~ C.S. Lewis "Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe."~ Gail Devers "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible."~ T.E. Lawrence And what words would make the cross worth nothing? How about words like good enough, fair, tolerance, correct, personal opinion, relative, cultural, acceptable or does not hurt anyone? Wherever sin is minimized, the cross is emptied. Wherever God is ignored, the cross is emptied. Wherever you and I refuse to submit to the call of the King, the cross is emptied. - Skip Moen
