Favourite Quotes?

[Jezz]

Anybody got some favourite quotes? doesnt have to Brother Branham or biblical quotes

Mine are:

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who actually in the arena; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with timid soul who know neither victory nor defeat"
-Theodore Roosevelt

Isiah 41:10

Fear not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness

[redeemed]

i like alot of quotes but i just read this and really like it:

my weariness for His strength,
my weakness for His power,
my darkness for His light,
my problems for His solutions,
my burden for His freedom,
my frustrations for His peace,
my turmoil for His calm,
my hopes for His promises,
my afflictions for His balm of comfort,
my questions for His answers,
my confusion for His knowledge,
my doubt for His assurance,
my nothingness for His awesomeness,
the temporal for the eternal, and
the impossible for the possible!

something I heard the other day, is funny (but I'll have to translate)

One day a donkey came to his mother and said,
Mom, this was such an awesome day! A few men came to take me, and I was brought me to Jerusalem, and people were shouting and pointing at me, and people took branches from palm trees, and were waving with those to me, and people took of their jackets so that I could walk over those
And the mother donkey said,
You silly donkey, those people were not shouting and pointing for you, but for the One who was riding on your back

... ;)
(made up by some guy called Matt Redman I guess)

[Angelo]

awww, mama should have let him enjoy, he'll eventually find out why when he goes to heaven.:)

[joris]

awww, mama should have let him enjoy, he'll eventually find out why when he goes to heaven.:)nah, I think you should show proud people the truth - even if they're really donkeys ;)

[Angelo]

I heard a story how Bro Branham showed preferring another's happiness. I think it was with a dart game, he actually let his opponent win intentionally not because he really can't but to not disappoint the other of his claims. I couldn't remember the details, but after the game, the brother that is with them told Bro Branham that he could have won the game. Bro Branham said, If I win, I would lose the brother. Something like that... sorry can't remember if it's a true story, bz right now.:training:

[NeedGod]

42-1 THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
He is coming soon. The Alpha and Omega, the Prophet, Priest and King, the All in All, Lord God of Hosts, is coming soon. Even so Lord Jesus, the One and Only True God, come quickly!
.................................................. .................................................. ..
Amen and Amen!

[AgapZoe]

Amen amen and amen ....

[NeedGod]

i just want Him to come and take Him home. i am so tired of the world and its stresses. God help me! I need Him every hour. God Bless...

[Angelo]

stress comes when we don't give our bodies the necessary rest and maintainance. We have to check and see where we are missing its needs because it should correspond to the will of the soul and of the spirit.

[NeedGod]

i feel so stresses out at times nowaays..of late. but at least i have God and i know He cares for me. I will never go into depression as i did before i got saved because someone is watching over me all the time. i know that.
:)
i remember He who died for me, was mocked and crucified for my sake and i rejoice. He loves me this i know!
Isa.53
[1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
[2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
[3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
[4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
[5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
[6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
[7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
[8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
[9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
[10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
[11] He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
[12] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

[Babyruth]

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of my absolute favorite quotes.

[Skirty]

“When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted.”
~Eleanor Roosevelt~

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.
~Thomas Carlyle~

What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.
~Eleanor powell~

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain
~C.S. Lewis~

God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way
~Leighton ford~

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.
~Charles L Allen~

If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world
~C.S. Lewis~

(sorry for the length :) )

[God'schild]

" Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you"

"Resist the devil and he will flee"

[God'schild]

here's another quote i really like.

" Get desperate with God, he will get desperate with you."

God bless..

[TommyLewis]

I have heard that Emerson quote before, and I love it. Another good one I came across recently...

"If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams." ...Yann Martel

[God'schild]

"Greet disruptions to your plans as a way to learn patiance(sp?) and cheerfulness! Learn to treasure trials for their value in making you more like Christ."

[SisTrev]

Isaiah 40:31 is my all time favorite Bible verse...

When i get down in the dumps I always remember that verse and it helps me to keep on keeping on....

so that being my favorite verse, you can easily guess what one of my favorite songs is...:)

[Jezz]

"The only time you can't afford to fail is the last time you try"

"Better to do something imperfectly than do nothing flawlessly"

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me - Psalm 18:17

[AlanaH]

I like Jeremiah 33:3 cause it assures me that God is always listening...

[leahmb]

"The only time you can't afford to fail is the last time you try"

hehe, ditto on this one :)

I also like one I heard last week--"In 20 years you won't regret the things you did, but those that you failed to do."

[God'schild]

"SUCCESS, It is by taking Chances that we succeed"

[AndrewMichael]

These are both me...

"I'd rather earn a loss, then be given a victory."

And the most familiar one,
"Romance comes from Love, not Love from Romance."

[EllyMae]

"God doesn't count His crowd, He weighs them."

I first heard that at church when my pastors brother guest preached for us. Not sure if he was quoting Brother Branham, someone else, or it was just from him, but I still liked it. :)

[God'schild]

" Joy admist the trial"

[God'schild]

"Never make a promise you can't keep"

[joris]

"Never make a promise you can't keep"I like that one, but to me it really sounds like "Never make a promise."

[leahmb]

I just promise to "try," because sometimes you don't have control over things that force you to break your promise. But by promising to try, you do your best to fulfill your promise.

[Babyruth]

That's so true Leah. I do that as well. We are not in control of everything, but we can do our best to do our best. :D

[God'schild]

" Jesus counts character, not church members"

" Jesus can only use what you surrender."

[eagleendtime]

224-2 THYATIREAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.6 "I know thy works; and the last to be more than the first." This is certainly remarkable. As the darkness of the age increased; as the honor roll of the martyrs grew lengthier day by day, they worked all the harder, they served all the more, and their faith increased. How tragic it was that in the Ephesian Age love waned. And truly nothing is said of the increased labor of love in the other ages; but in this age, in the darkest of all ages, they served Him even more. What a lesson that is. There is no ceasing of this gracious service of love unto the Lord, but rather an increasing of it. That is the secret. Let the enemy attempt to thwart our service to the Lord--our reply is increased service. When the faint are crying in fear, that is the time to shout the victory. Yes as the enemy assaults us, our cry is increased service. Not to weaken but strengthen.

[joris]

I just promise to "try," because sometimes you don't have control over things that force you to break your promise. But by promising to try, you do your best to fulfill your promise. then, I know there's so many people saying, don't "try", but "do"... ;)
yeah I get what you say ofcourse; it's just that I'm not too fond of my own (in)abilities now and then

[ABC]

Now putting my spoon to soup :P

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"God thought it, the Prophet spoke it, I believe it, and that settles it!"

[BroTrevor]

"Never will any one admire the works of man, if he has recognised himself as the son of God. He degrades himself from the height of his nobility, who can admire anything but the Lord."

- Cyprian.

from Ante-Nicean Fathers

[blessed]

"God thought it, the Prophet spoke it, I believe it, and that settles it!"

Amen Amen ..........

[Babyruth]

"With great power comes great responsibility."

[TommyLewis]

I dont consider someone to have broken their promise if they try their best and are thwarted by circumstances outside of their control...

[God'schild]

"God thought it, the Prophet spoke it, I believe it, and that settles it!"


(Brother Billy Paul was at the saskatchewan family camp and he said the same thing..)

AMEN AMEM!!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

i like the quote that always pops up on my posts:

"we are the makers of music, and the dreamers of dreams"

arthur o'shaugnessy

it's sooo true

[azurity]

"God thought it, the Prophet spoke it, I believe it, and that settles it!"
I love that!!!

Yep, it's Brother Billy Paul's line, but that's the way I believe it too!

God bless you, bro!

[Babyruth]

i like the quote that always pops up on my posts:

"we are the makers of music, and the dreamers of dreams"

arthur o'shaugnessy

it's sooo true
I agree. Nice quote.

[marichino_freedom]

got another one
from casting crowns "praise you":

"And I will praise You in this storm, and I will lift my hands, because You are who You are, no matter where I am, and every tear I cry, You hold in Your hand; and though my heart is torn, I will praise You in this storm."

I really love this song, and it makes me think about struggles and tough times and just holding on.

[TommyLewis]

I love that song...it has meaning to it...even if you don't like their style of music, you can recognize the talent involved in composing it, and the purity of the message it presents...

GO.WAKE.JESUS_ TUCSON.AZ SUNDAY_ 63-1103
153 Psalm Of Life. Longfellow's poem, A Psalm Of Life. I love it. It tells something. It manifests something. It's got real something into it, some meanings. I like something that's got color in it, got meaning. Music, poem, whatever it might be, I love it if it's real.

[joris]

"we are the makers of music, and the dreamers of dreams"yeah we should try to make music for God, as in worship by music is a lot that draws us nearer to Him
dreamer of dreams? I'm not so sure, I would like nice dreams for a change (normally I either remember none, or... it's a mess and it wasn't nice)

[marichino_freedom]

i dont think it necessarily has to be REM dreams, i think it can be dreams in the "i have a dream" sense. like my dream is to be a veterinarian and to travel the world, stuff like that....

[marichino_freedom]

[QUOTE=TommyLewis]I love that song...it has meaning to it...even if you don't like their style of music, you can recognize the talent involved in composing it, and the purity of the message it presents...

i know.....when i first heard it, it really struck a chord with me

[joris]

i dont think it necessarily has to be REM dreams, i think it can be dreams in the "i have a dream" sense. like my dream is to be a veterinarian and to travel the world, stuff like that....well... I don't really have dreams in that sence either :sad:

[AlanaH]

But surely you have some wish or strong desire that you hope to eventually accomplish...that's the same as having a "dream" for something.

[joris]

But surely you have some wish or strong desire that you hope to eventually accomplishuhm no, I guess I don't have that, there's the feeling that most/all things are too hard for me (maybe "dreams" is a nice topic for a seperate thread?) -- though it seems God has some ideas of what I will accomplish, which... well it's sure all His work if, what I heard, ever comes to reality ;)

[SisTrev]

"We keep you alive to serve this ship...row well and live."

"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." -- Henry Van Dyke

[BroTrevor]

"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." -- Henry Van Dyke

I like that one...it's really good.

[leahmb]

I really love this song, and it makes me think about struggles and tough times and just holding on.

I've had this song in my head for like the past month! I love "I will praise you in this story," because that's how I've been feeling.

THE.CHURCH.AND.ITS.CONDITION_ JEFF.IN CH 1-34 SUNDAY_ 56-0805 (http://www.yqnews.org/forums/)

The other day down at Brother Cox's, an old [/URL]mother dove had two little babies. And they set right up on top of the building, so the cats couldn't get them. And the old (http://www.yqnews.org/forums/)mother dove would feed them. Then she'd come down and get them and make them get up in the tree, and they would set there with their necks around one another, and coo and make love all day long, two little, gentle baby doves.
And I thought of how God (of the dove is such a loving bird) and the Dove, God, wanting to make love with His human beings... God wants to be loved. God wants to love you. "God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but to have Everlasting Life." Blessed be the Lord. Then God, wanting to make love, He had to some--make something lovable. He had to make something gentle like Himself. He had to make something that could be loved. He had to make something of His own nature.
You couldn't love nothing that wasn't of your own nature. Loving has to unite with love. A husband and wife has to love one another, if they ever make the grade. Family has to love one another, if they ever make the grade. Something to be loved... You search everywhere, find a girl to be your wife that you love. She searches, finding a husband that she could love.
And God searches, trying to find a soul that He can love. So He represented Himself here on earth as a gentle Dove and a gentle Lamb. If a--that Lamb would at one minute ever taken on the nature of a snarling wolf, that Dove would've took Her flight immediately; she'd have got away.
[URL="http://www.yqnews.org/forums/"] (http://www.yqnews.org/forums/) But the--the--the lamb, it doesn't have any great minds of its own. A lamb is one thing, when it's lost, it's hopelessly lost. A sheep can't find its way back. That's the reason the goat leads it to its death. It can't find its way, a sheep that's lost. That's the reason God likened us unto sheep. When we're lost, we are lost. There's no way we could find ourself. And there's only one way to do it; that's submit ourselves to the Shepherd of the flock, and He does the leading.

I especially like this one !

[Babyruth]

I've had this song in my head for like the past month! I love "I will praise you in this story," because that's how I've been feeling.
Yeah, I've had that line, "I will praise you in this storm" for the past couple months. I really like that song.

[God'schild]

" In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

[Jezz]

" In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

That's probably my favourite Proverb :)

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord and depart from evil

[Babyruth]

The future is something which everyone reaches at the
rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

[Senor Perfecto]

Freedom from Materialism is only an excuse to be Lazy- Me Myself and I
Friends are only as deep as the pockets- Me Myself and I
I Consider Myself the Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth, Because I am Myself- Me Myself and I

[eagleendtime]

one day I commented to a friend of mine, oh it will be great to die and go home. then all my troubles will be ended. His comment was we still need you.

Well when I got home I pulled this quote out of a little box with scriptures on it.

First side I saw
"it requires more courage to suffer than to die" - Napoleon Bonaparte

the other side
"He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" Mt 24:13

"A friend is someone who will help you up when you trip & fall, but a best friend will laugh & say, 'Walk much?'"

[God'schild]

"Everyone has a purpose in life.."

[PianoMan79]

"Everyone has a purpose in life.."
I sure hope so! LOL
Nice quote.

[leahmb]

"A friend is someone who will help you up when you trip & fall, but a best friend will laugh & say, 'Walk much?'"

CountryGurl's variation is "A good friend helps you up when you fall, a best friend laughs at you and trips you again."

[SisTrev]

both of those are very funny....:rofl:

Those are good!!!

When I see "quotes" I think of Brother Branham quotes, but here's one of my favourite friendship quotes:

"A friend is someone who knows all about you, but loves you anyway."

[Skirty]

Always forgive your enemies -- Nothing annoys them so much.
~ Oscar Wilde~

Roses are red
Violets are blue
God made me beautiful
What happened to you?

(I know thats awful, but it makes me laugh:) )

[Babyruth]

Those are hilarious! I love them! I've heard the first one, but not the second one.

[SisTrev]

[Ranorian]

Hmm. I collect quotes, so here we go:

"A king is for glory, not for long life." - King Magnus

"Flee not, O vile and cowardly creatures, for it is but one single knight who attacks you!" - Don Quixote, challenging the windmills.

"But life is not invented for happiness, I do believe" -King Arthur

"Someday I too will lay down the melancholy burden of sanity, and take my blade to defend all that which is right and good in this twisted world. Then will the world tremble as the opressed, the quiet, the humble and the pure shall rise up as one and sweep away the filth and slime. This world will be purged in flame, a blazing and purifying inferno to burn away the darkness enshrouding it. On that day evil shall truly know fear, as good throws off the cowl of humility and dons the helm of justice."

"Truly I wept, leaning upon a peak
Of the hard crag, so that my Escort said
To me: 'Art thou, too, of the other fools?
Here pity lives when it is wholly dead;
Who is a greater reprobrate than he
Who feels compassion at the doom divine?'"
-The Inferno

"And now, farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good- now the God of Vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!"
-The Count of Monte Cristo

"I, too, as happens to ever man once in his life, have been taken by Satan into the highest mountain in the earth, and when there he showed me all the kingdoms of the earth, and as he said before, so said he to me, 'Child of earth, what wouldst thou have to make thee adore me?' I reflected long, for a gnawing ambition had long preyed upon me, and then I replied, 'Listen,-I have always heard tell of Providence, and yet I have never seen him, nor anything that resembles him, or which can make me believe that he exists. I wish to be Providence myself, for I feel that the most beautiful, noblest, most sublime thing in the world, is to recompense and punish.'

Satan bowed his head and groaned. 'You mistake,' he said; 'Providence does exist, only you have never seen him, because the child of God is as invisible as the parent. You have seen nothing that resembles him, because he works by secret springs and moves by hidden ways. All I can do for you is to make you one of the agents of that Providence.' The bargain was concluded. I may sacrifice my soul, but what matters it?"
-The Count of Monte Cristo

"Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!"
-King Theoden of Rohan

"Our arrows shall darken the sky itself!"
"Then we shall fight in the shade."

[eagleendtime]

One day when reading the bible
EXODUS 35:23
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.

This and other scirptures where read,having badger skins. Why badger skins, I wondered. It wasn't long before the answer. Here is what Bro. Branham said. We look just like badgers.

THE.MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED.BEFORE.US_ PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 MONDAY_ 64-0629
22-2 What was on the inside of that skins, back there, the old badger skins, which there was no beauty we should desire It? And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It was still no beauty we should desire It. And now, the same thing is today. There's nothing in a man or woman that can be desired, but it's what's in behind there. That's what it is.
"Well," you say, "that fellow I know used to be a drunkard. He used to do this." I don't care what he used to do. What's hid behind that skin? What is behind there, that's what counts, that's what... The people is blinded; the skin blinds the people. See?
They say, "I remember when that woman used to..." I know what she used to, but what about now? See? It's them skins that was once on the badger, but now it's hiding the glory of God, got it housed behind it. It was on an animal, but now it's housing the glory of God.
And so can your skin be changed tonight to be made a housing place for God, God dwelling in humanity.

[eagleendtime]

This still stuck with me, and has been for the last three weeks

He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have, and knows the end from the beginning because He is God.

[joris]

He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have, and knows the end from the beginning because He is God.though sometimes bible seems to be saying people get God to change His mind, or maybe it's bad summarizing of people

one of the most common examples, is of Abraham talking with God about Sodom and Gomorra; now... God said He'd destroy, and He did; the thing Abraham did... I don't know; God got him to pray for righteousness at least

[EllyMae]

I know it's an old thread, but I was reading through some quotes I had copied down a few years ago and thought I'de post them :)

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
Elbert Hubbard

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
Joseph Heller

We are all something, but none of us are everything.

Lol, reminds me of a Heinlein quote my boss used to have as a footer to our out-going e-mails from work:

"Beware of strong drink, it can make you shoot at tax collectors and miss." - Robert Heinlein

(His Sci Fi books are decent, too ;))

[Jezz]

If your aiming for the moon why would you settle on a star?
(that's a definite favourite, a friend of mine said that to me once)

(i'll make myself stop now :D )

but a star is further away and therefore harder to get to and therefore better than getting to the moon? :-p

it should be if ur aiming for the stars why would you settle on the moon?

sorry, just thought i'd point that out :-p

[Skirty]

but a star is further away and therefore harder to get to and therefore better than getting to the moon? :-p

it should be if ur aiming for the stars why would you settle on the moon?

sorry, just thought i'd point that out :-p

Haha, that's good, but I like to "aim for the moon" in daily goals, because if I make a list of 10 things I want to get done and only do 8, it's still pretty good....which would be my equation of landing in the stars....

I read this on a sign yesterday:

oh how clever!

here's one for ya:

"An unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world requires that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English speaking audiences." ~ Edith Wharton

here is a quote one should read over and over until it sinks in.


And when she come from Africa, and she had left a little book there on missions. I'd--I thought, "Well, missionaries are fine"; and I've--I've never thought much about missionaries and so. I thought, "Well, it's just an office of God out there, so that's--this is my place right here on Eighth and Penn Street," so I was just carrying on the best I could.

But one day, setting in the study, I picked up that book and it had a picture of a--of the Negro race, an elderly old father, and he had this little white rim of hair, and underneath was written like this: "White man, white man, where was your father? (See?) I'm now old and dull at mind, and I don't understand too well. If I would've known Jesus when I was a young man, I would've took Him to my people."
Well, I read it, and something just kept saying, "Read it again. Read it again." I kept reading... You've had them times; read it over and over. There's something in there.

While reading the Church Age book this caught my eye...

Outside of her Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, was ever a people so beated and purged as the bride of Jesus Christ? Surely she is filling up the sufferings that Christ has left behind. Her goods are despoiled. Her life is in jeopardy. She is accounted as sheep for the slaughter. She is killed all the day long. She suffers much, but in it all retaliates not, neither does she cause others to suffer. Worthy of the Gospel is this lovely bride of Christ. And as gold is malleable, whereas brass will break with the beating, this gold of God will bear her suffering for the Lord, not bowed, not broken, not destroyed, butformed as a thing of beauty and a joy forever by the trials and testings of this life.

Does Brother Branham not describe the Bride beautifully?

"Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."
-Lewis Carroll

This quote cracks me up just because no matter how hard I try, I can't quite break it down.

So I just read it.

And laugh.

"We are at rest. Let this old ship toss any way she wants to toss in the storms of life, our anchor holds us securely in place. Our faith doesn't rest in our own abilities, or in our church, or in our friends. Our faith rests entirely upon the finished work of Jesus Christ. Sure all kinds of storms and troubles will arise, but our ship can't sink..."
