I found myself immediately attracted to Pope John Paul II when, upon his election to the Papacy, his published speeches invariably called attention to the need for recognizing the dignity of the human being as a child of God.
It’s impossible to fail completely and it’s impossible to succeed perfectly.
When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome. Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment. What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
Turn your scars into stars by realising how lucky you are that things aren’t worse.

If you will make a deliberate decision to develop a positive attitude toward opportunities and obstacles, you are on your way toward having what is the most important quality in education: the power of positive thinking.
It’s unfulfilled dreams that keep you alive.
Nothing is more important than honesty in prayer. There are no pretensions in prayer, so the best place to begin is wherever you are.
I have discovered that you can go from nowhere to somewhere, from nothing to something, from a nobody to a somebody, from an empty person to a fulfilled one, if you have faith in God.
If you are creative enough to imagine a problem, you’re clever enough to discover a solution.
I believe that Christians believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. And we believe that if you’re saved, Jesus becomes your savior. He makes a promise to you. You can trust his promises. You can bank on that word.

I see the invisible. I believe the incredible. I attempt the impossible.
Yes, you can be a dreamer and a doer too, if you will remove one word from your vocabulary: impossible.
Since it doesn’t cost a dime to dream, you’ll never shortchange yourself when you stretch your imagination.
Lord, make my life A window for Your light To shine through And a mirror to reflect Your love To all I meet. Amen.
Possibility-thinking is the long sought-after fountain of youth.
Faith is the courage to face reality with hope.
