I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us – more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings.

Partition is bad. But whatever is past is past. We have only to look to the future.

You don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

An overflow of good converts to bad.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

Man is not made for defeat.

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope, look for action. Then, and only then, hope will come.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

I have a living will and I have friends, and I have money and I have hope.

Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

I’ve been very fortunate.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

If you don’t set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.

I’m not the sort of person who gives up on things. The first time we crossed the Atlantic in the balloon, it crashed, and we went on and did the Pacific. First time we crossed the Atlantic in a boat, it sank, and we went on and got the record. So, generally speaking, we will pick ourselves up, brush ourselves down, and carry on.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

Some Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.

Happy the people whose annals are vacant.

I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I never expected any sort of success with ‚Mockingbird’… I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity… The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

I still think I am the greatest.

Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.

Be careful what you set your heart upon – for it will surely be yours.

Know that as a Christian, your destiny is to be Christlike in all of your ways.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

I’m telling you there is hope. I have seen it, but it does not come from the governments or corporations. It comes from the people.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it takes to see the bad.

Act, and God will act.

I always tell young girls, surround yourself with goodness. I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.

The last thing the devil wants you to do is be an obedient Christian.

We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.

Encouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.
