“Don’t give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half.” Coach Bear Bryant
Some teams find ways to win, against all odds, generally led by a leader who instills that confidence in them…with Christ as the quarterback on your team, why do you doubt? Pick yourself back up, and fight alongside with him each and everyday!
“Alone of all creeds, Christianity has added courage to the virtues of the Creator. For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break.” G.K. Chesterton
“The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.”
George Washington
“Angry people are not always wise.” Jane Austen
“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.” Jane Austen
“Christianity has always recommended the contemplation of death as an encouragement to a good life; and this is actually effective, for although we cannot go backward in time, we can go forward in time. A man can therefore say to himself, “What I am living for today, that I shall die for tomorrow.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Home life is the God-appointed training ground of human character, for from the home life of the child springs the maturity of manhood, either for good or for evil.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. Joy comes from loving God and neighbor. Pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. Joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. Pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. Joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Our personal dispositions are as windowpanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“It’s much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.” Leo Tolstoy
