“The longer-term your perspective, the better the decision you will make today.”

—LARRY BURKETT

“Truth is as timeless as God Himself—it never changes. It may be forgotten, neglected, perverted, opposed, rejected, counterfeited, or displaced, but it never changes.”

—IAN THOMAS

“The price of success is paid in private. Visible triumphs are built on invisible work.”

—AUTHOR UNKNOWN

“Mark it down. Causes have effects. Actions have reactions. Choices have consequences. That will be the story of your life.”

—STEVE FARRAR

“One of my good friends describes old age as the point in life when a person ceases to look forward and always looks backward.”

—JAMES MONTGOMERY BOICE

“If God puts something in my hand without first doing something to my heart, my character will lag behind my achievements, and that is the way to ruin.”

—WARREN WIERSBE

“To be able to concentrate for a considerable time is essential to difficult achievement.”

—BERTRAND RUSSELL

“The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little.”

—MICHEL MONTAIGNE

“Unhappy is he who depends on success to be happy.”

—ALEX DIAS RIBEIRO

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before.”

—JACOB RIIS
