I repent me of the ignorance wherein I ever said that God made man out of nothing: there is no nothing out of which to make anything; God is all in all, and he made us out of himself. George MacDonald
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them..."
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adversity will surface in some form in every life. How we prepare for it, how we meet it, makes the difference. We can be broken by adversity, or we can become stronger. The final result is up to the individual'. Marvin J. Ashton
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i can't change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to make difference between them. Robert H. Schuller
