“Men brave and generous live the best lives, seldom will they sorrow; then there are fools, afraid of everything, who grumble instead of giving.”

“If you never see a fool You'll always be happy.The one who keeps company with fools Will be sorry for a long time.It's painful to live with fools, Like being always with an enemy.”

“The fool who knows his folly Becomes wise by that fact.But the fool who thinks he's wise - He's called 'a fool' indeed!”

“For I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow.”

“Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”

“I know what it is to be in need,and I know what it is to have plenty.I have learned the secret of being contentin any and every situation,whether well fed or hungry,whether living in plenty or in want.I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”Philippians 4:12-13”

“Now may every living thing, young or old,weak or strong, living near or far, known orunknown, living or departed or yet unborn,may every living thing be full of bliss.”
