Quotes from my facebook (Don't worry, I will be writing more once I am done with this semester!)

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" --Psalms 27:1

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." --C. S. Lewis

"It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars." --Garrison Keillor

"We live by faith, not by sight." --2 Corinthians 5:7

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." --Groucho Marx

"Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." --Proverbs 26:12

"What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular." -- Unknown

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” --Dr. Seuss

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." --Edgar Allan Poe

"I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born." --Ronald Reagan

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one." --C. S. Lewis

"I believe in Christianity like I believe the sun has risen: not just because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else." --C. S. Lewis

"I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose." --Ludwig van Beethoven

"Peace begins with a smile." --Mother Teresa

"Many Christians are striving in the flesh to do the works of the Spirit, and they are frustrated and tired. Wouldn't you rather rest in the Resurrection than try to overhaul the old nature that was-- and should continually be-- crucified with Jesus? New life is an eternal blessing, but it has no short-term benefit if we refuse to live in it. How do you get there? Not by straining for it, not by reading about it, and not by frantically immersing yourself in church life. No, just by asking. Ask often, trust deeply, let yourself be convinced by the promise, think about it often, and most of all give Jesus free reign of you heart. The power of His resurrection is available when the power of your self is exhausted. Live in His power. Or better yet, let His power live in you." -- Chris Tiegreen

“It doesn’t matter what course you take. Simply hang around until you catch the Spirit, or the Spirit catches you.” -- Robert Frost

"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave." --Gandhi

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." --Gandhi

"And I think that's what our world is desperately in need of - lovers, people who are building deep, genuine relationships with fellow strugglers along the way, and who actually know the faces of the people behind the issues they are concerned about." --Shane Claiborne

“Most good things have already been said far too many times and just need to be lived.” --Shane Claiborne

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” --Sylvia Plath

“Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences.” --Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Just always be yourself, work hard, and you will be respected for who you really are." -- my daddy :)

"Love, laughter, and prayers." --my mommy :)
