A thought can prompt. Words can stir. But it takes action to attain a dream.

Words that should cross your lips with ease: thank you, love you, sorry, please.

Words have less substance than air. Don't tell me about your zealous dreams, your firm convictions, your profound love__how me.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but those well-arranged words are worth a multi-million-dollar motion picture.

Hope is a fire more ravenous than the flames of temptation. _For if only a portion of it poisons your veins, it is enough to make you stand against ridiculous odds again and again and again.

You stand a better chance of bringing pretend to life through the power of belief than you stand any chance of erasing what's real by refusing to believe.

Hope is the fuel within all human souls.Eliminate hope__othing moves, nothing grows.

You made a choice__ single choice. How neat to think you may have opened the door to a wondrous future without knowing.

Something wonderful is about to happen, and something awful is about to happen. You can dwell on either one. It__ your choice.

Pray each morning and each night.Talk to God and be polite.Tell Him what you're grateful for.Leave your troubles at His door.Share your wishes, needs, and hopes.Ask God how to bravely cope.Tell Him all you learned today.Say the things you need to say.Beg forgiveness for your sins.Pray to live with Him again.Speak with earnest heart and soul.He will listen. This I know.For prayer is hope put to the test.And hope is faith in what is best.Faith is power to do great things.Thus, prayer is faith's enabling wings.

If God were to make a million lovely flowers in your image and plant them in a garden with you among them, I would still know you by your scent and by the feel of your petals and by the crazy way you lean towards my light whenever I draw near.

Every brush stroke on the canvas, every dab of color introduced, the fine textures impressed in the paint__his accumulation of many small acts combines to shape a final work of art. _And so it is with life; each step, each deed, each brief choice builds gradually, day by day, to shape both character and destiny.

Trying to fix the shortcoming of others while ignoring your own flaws results in little if no improvement__ot to mention bitter feelings. Concentrating on personal growth sets a good example and results in the improvement of one life if not more.
