God hides some ideal in every human soul.  At some time in our life we feel a trembling, fearful longing to do some good thing.  Life finds its noblest spring of excellence in this hidden impulse to do our best.

Robert Collyer

Success slips away from you like sand through the fingers, like water through a leaky pail, unless success is held tightly by hard work, day by day, night by night, year in and year out.  Everyone who is not looking forward to going to seed looks forward to working harder and harder and more fruitfully as long as he lasts.

Stuart Pratt Sherman

Reach high for stars lie hidden in your soul.  Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Pamela Vaull Starr

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.

James 1:17

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Open my eyes to the surprises you have for me. Give me imagination, inspiration, strength, and courage to perform the tasks you have planned. Help me to hear your voice, and to get things done. Please work your wonders through me.   Amen.
