    Words can inspire wonder, kindle hope or provide direction. They can also tear down, dampen spirits and destroy initiative.

    Each day try to build others up. If needed, guide others away from wrong with encouraging words. Strengthen their resolve to live a life that He wants for us.

    Be careful with a very powerful resource...your words.

    You have to make hay when the sun shines.



    The rolling stone gathers no moss.



    If you don’t scale the mountain you can’t view the plain.

    He that would have the kernel must crack the shell.



    Scrambled eggs can’t be unscrambled.



    A man all wrapped up in himself makes a small package.

    Distance lends enchantment.



    The first step is the hardest.



    It’s always darkest before the dawn.



    The longest night must end.



    The end must justify the means.

    You may lose a fly to catch a trout.



    What can’t be cured must be endured.



    There is no greater misfortune than not to be able to endure misfortune.



    Every man is his own worst enemy.



    Love your enemy, but don’t put a gun in his hand.

    Don’t believe your enemy even when he’s telling the truth.



    Learn, even from your enemies.



    There is no little enemy.



    Enjoyment is the grace of God.



    More than enough is too much.

    No house is big enough for two families.



    Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.



    A new broom sweeps clean.



    Out in the country life is what you make it, but in the city it too often is what you make.



    Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied.

    As a moth gnaws at a garment, so does envy consume a man.



    After honor and state, follow envy and hate.



    The dog with the bone is always in danger.



    Envy is the sincerest form of flattery.



    In the bath-house all are equal.

    We are all born equal and distinguished alone by virtue.



    Freedom without equal opportunity is a myth.



    We learn by trial and error; or is it by trial and success?



    Every age explodes old errors and creates new ones.



    To err is human, to forgive divine.
