You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.

Sometimes, people don't need our monies and our treasures. All they need is our encouragements to give them hope.

Hope is the little bird that continues to sing the songs of possibilities in your heart when everything else says to give up.

Whoever loves God, pray for purity.

Just as a child is freely given, so is God's grace.

You can only see progress when you start doing something, so don't expect anything without your efforts.

Sometimes the 'day' you're dreaming for never comes. Take control of your future and start now.

We ought to read daily.

With success, if you don't plan and just take each day as it comes, there will come failure.

Making it happen, It's just something you gotta do.

Take control of your future by taking a choice of starting it right now.

For a permanent solution to easing tension and soothe the rough waters of the world that cause people to go to drugs, drinking, gambling, pornography, overeating, or anything that will give them some temporary relief, you can't beat the support and encouragement of a friend.

The best foundation for relationships to grow, flourish, and succeed is a deep-rooted friendship.

I live to inspire, not start the fire.

We are our own biggest enemy. We criticize ourselves in a harsh way about everything, our looks, our weight, our careers, our failures and success, the way people treat us; the list goes on. Instead of critiquing ourselves and putting ourselves down, how about tapping ourselves on the shoulder and saying "I did goooood". GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.

When you know your role in life, living makes sense because of clarity, and the loads become enjoyable to carry.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.

Our focus must always be on building people up.

We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. The days are always dark enough. There is no need for us to emphasize the fact by spreading further gloom.

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or how successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.
