Hard Times

A small collection of some favorite quotes:


People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;


forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;

succeed anyway.

If you are honest people may cheat you;

be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the end, it is between you and God;

it was never between you and them anyway.


Only God can remove the poisons of greed and hatred and jealousy in our hearts, and replace them with contentment and compassion and forgiveness. Only He can subdue the violence and anger that rage within us, and replace them with His peace and love. Whatever wars rage in your life, lay them at the foot of the Cross and ask Jesus to give you His peace.



We know not what tomorrow brings ... Although we plan ahead


For only God alone can know ... the pathway we must tread.

We cannot know the future ...not one minute nor one hour

Each circumstance that we must face ... lay only in His power.

It's vital that we live by faith ...from minute unto minute

And trusting that each step we take ... He's walking with us in it.
