Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one's best.

In my travels I have found that those who keep Heaven in view remain serene and cheerful in the darkest day. If the glories of Heaven were more real to us, if we lived less for material things and more for things eternal and spiritual, we would be less easily disturbed by this present life.

The quest for character requires that certain things be kept in the heart as well as kept FROM the heart. An unguarded heart spells disaster. A well-guarded heart means survival. If you hope to survive the jungle, overcoming each treacherous attack, you will have to guard your heart as you seek to keep on the right path. (See Proverbs 23:19)

From the Fall on through time, until this Earth is no more, every human being born on this earth enters as a sinner. And that is why the story that unfolds is the story of redemption, bringing back into fellowship with God the men and women who once, in Adam and Eve, knew a fellowship that was unbroken and joyful and peaceful. (See Genesis 3:21-24)

The difference between a man and a gentleman - A man tries to leave his mark. A gentleman strives to leave a mark. A man accepts a favor. A gentleman returns the favor. A man gives orders. A gentleman inspires. A man fits the mold. A gentleman tries to break the mold. The differences are many, but it all comes down to this: a man takes the necessary steps. A gentleman takes the extra step.

I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
