    A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy something is last year.

    Just because you close your eyes, don’t think that brings night time upon the whole world.

    Complaining about the cows getting out will never mend the fence.

    Talking is the sound of brains emptying.

    People know what they do. They frequently even know why they do what they do. What they don’t know is that, what they do does. (What did he say?)

    At any moment, about one third of the people in the world are sleeping. The other two thirds are awake and creating problems. Admiral Rickover

    And whatever you look for is often found. This is a great reason to be looking for good.

    I not so fondly remember a manager that was over me one time and he informed me that I was to look for something the employees were doing wrong any time I was near them. Whoa. Not my style at all.

    Just because you can’t find God, He is still not the One who is lost.

    You never see a Brinks truck following a hearse.

    Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

    Tell someone there are three hundred billion starts in the universe and they will believe you. Tell them something has wet paint, and they have to touch it to make sure.

    The haves and the have-nots can often be traced back to the dids and the did-nots.

    Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. Dale Carnegie

    Luck is always against those who depend on it.

    The problem with stress-regulation methods, such as breathing exercises, relaxation technique, bio-feedback etc., is that none of it is as satisfying as beating the crap out of your stressor

    Verse of the Day
    No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
    1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV

    Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

    Most men stumble over the truth from time to time, but they pick themselves up and hurry away as though nothing had happened. Winston Churchill

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    I once knew a fellow who was so negative that he would complain about the noise if opportunity knocked.

    There is no such thing as a little garlic any more than there is being a little bit pregnant.

    Those who say that all men are created equal are either fools or liars.

    Liberty is something you can’t have unless you are willing to give it to others.

    Verse of the Day
    One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

    It is easier to be critical than correct.

    One of the chief aims of wisdom is to enable one to bear the stupidity of the ignorant.

    He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has but one enemy will meet him everywhere. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

    The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.

    If the theory of evolution is correct, how come we only have two hands?

    If you always do what you have always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

    In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishment, there are consequences.

    When you test the depth of a stream, do not use only one foot.

    Even good news is bad if it’s not true.

    People who want milk should never sit on a stool in the pasture in hopes a cow will come over to them.

    You never see luggage racks on a hearse.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon.

    Those who corrupt the public minds are just as evil as thieves and murderers.

    Have you ever noticed that opportunity knocks, but temptation simply barges right on in?

    When the tides of life turn against you
    And the current upsets your boat,
    Don’t waste tears on what might have been,
    Just lie on your back and float.

    All knowledge is useless until you need it.

    The difference between magic and science is the level of education in the audience.
