"To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did; I ought to know because I have done it a thousand times." --Mark Twain

The ministry of the Spirit of God strengthens us, too, for the
task that He knows lies ahead of us. We cannot survive or
complete this task using our own abilities. Like Peter and the
apostles, we need God's empowerment. We may not know what lies
ahead, but we do know that God is preparing us for the future He
has prepared for us.

-- David Edwards

A man leaves all kinds of footprints when he walks through life.
Some you can see ... others are invisible, like the prints he
leaves across other people's lives.

-- Margaret Lee Runbeck

"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it."

"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."

"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."

"I agree with the realistic Irishman who said he preferred to prophesy after the event."

"Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God."

"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people."

"If there were no God, there would be no atheists."

All of these quotes were by G.K. Chesterton, who C.S. Lewis said had more common sense than anyone that he had ever read. More quotes here:

Oooh...one of my favorites (cuz she was honest, he he he)

-"If you don't have anything nice to say, then come sit next to me!"

--was that Eleanor Roosevelt?

Makes me crack up every time.

I don't know who said these ones...

-"If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again...? It was probably worth it."

-"Always keep your words soft and sweet...just in case you have to eat them."

-"If you think nobody cares that you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments."

-"You are what you eat, so stay away from beef jerky."
