“TOMY COLLABORATORwho buys the ink and paperlaughsand, in fact, does all the really difficultpart of the businessthis book is gratefully dedicatedin memory of a winter’s morningin Switzerland”

“This book does not exist. And even if it did, it wouldn’t be worth buying or reading.”

“Does the Lord really expect us to be grateful when things aren't going well? Even though He said we should grateful "in all things," does that mean we should be grateful when we reach the end of our money before the end of the month? Yes. Does that mean we should be grateful when we suffer from loneliness and depression? Yes. Does that mean we should be grateful if our employer terminates us? Absolutely.Does that seem ridiculous? It might. But there are very valid reasons. It is not that God commands us to be grateful in all things to serve His own selfish purposes, but rather to bless our own lives. Learning to be grateful in all things promotes a measure of peace that we may never know otherwise. In the Old Testament, King David, who certainly had his share of adversity declared, "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

“The palest ink will endure beyond the memories of man”

“Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.”

“The brightest memory fades faster than the dullest ink.”
