    Forbidden fruit creates many jams.

    Forgiveness is like the fragrance a flower gives after it’s been stepped on.

    Four things never come back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past and the neglected opportunity.

    Freedom is doing what you know is right without fear.

    Funny how a dollar can look so big when you take it to church and so small when you take it to the store.

    Be bold in what you stand for and careful what you fall for.

    Be careful of the words you say And keep them soft and sweet
    For you never know from day to day Which ones you’ll have to eat.

    Better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot.

    Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss.

    Be ye fishers of men. You catch them and He will clean them.

    Be yourself. Who else is better qualified.

    Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt. Herbert Hoover

    Blowing out another’s candle will not make yours shine brighter.

    Verse of the Day
    He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
    2 Timothy 1:9

    You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make. Jane Goodall.

    Brain cells come and brains cells go, but fat cells live forever.

    Childhood is that wonderful time of life when all you need to do to lose weight is to take a bath.

    Children are natural mimics. They act like their parents in spite of every attempt to teach them good manners.

    Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak and courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. Winston Churchill

    They say to eat your spinach and you’ll grow up big and strong like Popeye. You’ll also end up with a girlfriend that looks like Olive Oyl. And remember, Popeye never ate his spinach until he had too.

    Education and intelligence aren’t the same thing.

    Even though a marriage is made in Heaven, the maintenance work has to be done here on earth.
