“The more opportunities we have, the more likely we are to be able to handle the unexpected.”

“Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity; opportunity is the martingale of man. The more we have ventured the more we gain, when we know how to wait.”

“Salvation is more than a word, It is His Word. His word became flesh so we have the opportunity to live.”

“Every time government attempts to handle our affairs, it costs more and the results are worse than if we had handled them ourselves.”
