Great Quotes
“People like to say that everything’s ‘perfect,’ and you look around and see that life is anything but that! But just as a weight bench is perfect for strengthening muscles but too uncomfortable for sleeping or sitting back and watching TV, life provides the resistance you need to learn and grow. You didn’t come here to sit back, relax and feel happy all the time; you came here to grow, and the way to grow is to bravely face the problems before you and improve yourself in the process. Life’s imperfections provide perfect opportunities to build your spiritual muscles.” – Shaun Roundy

Great Quotes
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” ― Jenkin Lloyd Jones
Great Quotes
“Sometimes and under some conditions it is possible to escape from many things-from prison walls, from false friends, from bad company, from boring people, from old environments-but never from ourselves. When we lie down at night, we are there with our own thoughts-whether we like them or not. When we wake in the morning, we are still there-whether we like us or not. The most persistent thing in life (and, we have no doubt, in death also) is our own consciousness of ourselves. This being so, there is no more pitiable person than he who is uncomfortable in his own company-no matter where he runs, or how fast, or how far.” – Richard L Evans

Great Quotes
Don’t waste time. Don’t waste it in idleness; don’t waste it in regretting the time already wasted; don’t waste it in resolutions a thousand times repeated, never to be carried out. Don’t waste your time. Use all of it. Sleep, work, rest, think. – Arthur Brisbane
Great Quotes
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. – Jack London
Great Quotes
It isn’t always others who enslave us. Sometimes we let circumstances enslave us; sometimes we let routine enslave us; sometimes we let things enslave us; sometimes, with weak wills, we enslave ourselves. sometimes we partake of detrimental things that we think will soothe our nerves, minds or imaginations-things we think will helps us to escape from reality. But no man is free if he is running away from reality. And no man is free if he is running away from himself. – Richard L Evans

Great Quotes
“In the last several years, while meeting and spending time with people who have become inordinately successful, I have observed several common traits among them. Two of those traits stand out. One is they have a calling, which they have discovered and are implementing. The other is they have made mountains of mistakes in the process of becoming ‘successful.’ THE GLEAMING MOUNTAIN OF SUCCESS IS ACTUALLY A PILE OF TRASH – a pile of the mistakes we have made. The difference between the successful and the troubled is not error-free living; it is that BY DISCOVERING AND IMPLEMENTING A LIFE CALLING, THE SUCCESSFUL STAND ON THEIR PILE OF TRASH, while the troubled sit under theirs.” – Dave Ramsey
Great Quotes
