There are ten strong things. Iron is strong, but fire melts it. Fire is strong, but water quenches it. Water is strong, but the clouds evaporate. Clouds are strong, but wind drives them away.
Man is strong, but fears cast him down. Fear is strong, but wine allays it. Wine is strong, but sleep overcomes it. Sleep is strong, but death is stronger, but loving kindness survives death.
The Talmud
Sympathy is a thing to be encouraged, because it supplies us with materials for wisdom. It is probably more instructive to entertain a sneaking kindness for any unpopular person than to give way to perfect raptures of moral indignation.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish in life is a direct result of the images you hold in your mind.
Hortense Canady
Let's face it. Much of our community is tension filled. Without adequate methods to relieve this stress, many of us exist within a time bomb.
M. Jocelyn Elders
Of all the qualities necessary for success, none comes before character.
Ernesta Procope
Fear is an uneasiness of the mind, upon the thought of future eveil likely to befall us.
John Locke
It is the fear of the punishment either of the king, or of hell, or of society that keeps people away from sin.
Mahabharata
Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.
Norman Vincent Peale
