Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not “in love”, one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.
When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.
All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
