Our weaknesses are malleable. If we so desire it they can be molded into strengths.
Every evil that we resist becomes our benefactor. Every temptation we permit to overcome us makes us weaker. Therefore, to be weak or strong is not a given, but a becoming.
Determine now what you will be. Why would you want to cheat your legacy and procrastinate your becoming?
There are deeper facts in our lives than we are aware of.
In the soul there are no limits. But in this life there are. Just because, therefore, one feels it in his soul does not mean it is
permitted in this life.
Too many of us try to fulfill ourselves before we have prepared ourselves.
Remember in all your actions the definition of love. It is the care and concern for the welfare of another. Therefore we cannot always do what we want, but do what will protect another. Then we shall discover that what we do to protect another results in the protection of ourselves.
One of the reasons there are so many divorces nowadays is because one has not learned that when they engage a relationship they have forfeited their selfishness.
There is more to life than just having fun!
The saying is often put, “Must I give up me to be loved by you?” That is an inappropriate question for we all must give up ourselves in order to gain ourselves. The question is really “What do I want?” Do you want to aggrandize yourself or do you want to enhance a relationship?
Do you walk by the rule of your intelligence, or the rule of your fancies?
There are thieves of things, and then there are thieves of the heart.
There are offenders of the mind, and then there are offenders of the soul.
So, you think you are not being watched because you are alone.
Oh, foolish one! Do you think that eyes of humans are the only things that see?
Secrecy has the power of lulling us into a false sense of security, but it lasts only for a time, and then comes the full revealing.
Oh, so it makes you feel uncomfortable to hear all this stuff. If that is so then it is exactly what you need to hear. You need to ask yourself, “Do I want peace, or this?”
Do you do what you do conscientiously, or indifferently?
A very wise and good man, whom I had the good fortune to know personally, said, “We seldom find life worth living; we make it worth living.”
It takes experience that comes with age to enable us to realize that what once we thought was so important really isn’t.
The things that really matter in life are a loyal family and true friends.

Another beautiful picture. And amen to the loyal family and good friends! Also amen to the other good thoughts.
Yes, I love the picture. And I also agree that the key to a happy marriage is the giving up of our selfishness. By the way, thanks for using punctuation!
