"Hope sings when all melodies are gone...." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“A person of responsibility can trust himself to choose the right thing over the easy thing.”

“I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who want to get things done, and those who don't want to make mistakes.”

“Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. And of these histories most fair still in the ears of the Elves is the tale of Beren and Lúthien”

“Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?”

“There is an infinite amount of hope in the universe ... but not for us.”

“People naturally tend toward inertia. That's why self improvement is such a struggle. But that's also why adversity lies at the heart of every success. The process of achievement comes through repeated failures and the constant struggle to climb to a higher level.”

“Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

“The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.”
