Billy Sunday
There wouldn't be so many non-church goers if there were not so many non-going churches.--
Billy Sunday
Going to church doesn't make a man a Christian, any more than going to a garage makes him an automobile.--

Billy Sunday
I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man.
Dwight L. Moody
A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package.
Harry Emerson Fosdick

Harry Emerson Fosdick
Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.
John Wesley
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
John Wesley
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
Charles R. Swindoll
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
Charles R. Swindoll

Thomas Merton
The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.
Thomas Merton
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God's mercy to me.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
Frederick Buechner
A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.
Billy Graham
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
St. Francis of Assisi
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Saint Augustine
Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.
Saint Augustine
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine
Love, and do what you like.
Saint Augustine
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
Saint Augustine
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
There is no possible source of evil except good.
Saint Augustine
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
Saint Augustine
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Saint Augustine
HE WHO LOVES NOT WOMEN, WINE, AND SONG.... REMAINS A FOOL HIS WHOLE LIFE LONG---- MARTIN LUTHER
