Faith, Love, Joy, Hope, Patience in 2011

post signature

Faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen.

Some men have many reasons why they cannot do what they want,

when all they really need is one reason why they can.

Love

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved,

loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves.

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope;

it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.

Fall in love with yourself and you have no rivals.

Joy

It isn't our position but our disposition that makes us happy.

A smile is a curve that can set a lot of things straight.

It is good to let a little sunshine out as well as in.

Hope

The man who rows the boat doesn't have time to rock it.

It is better to wear out than to rust out.

You can't slide uphill.

Patience

Patience is not passive; on the contrary it is active; it is concentrated strength.

Toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back.

Understanding is the secret of withstanding.

Waste of time is the most extravagant and costly of all expenses.

I wish you much love in 2011. May all your dreams come true!

Julee
