    The secret to success is not
    To do as everyone.
    Success is often measured by
    What others haven't done.

    "Not every professor is a possessor."

    I "coined" this quote or my daughter. When she was in high school she would often ask me why one of her friends abandoned the faith.

    "If at first you don't succeed, just keeping on sucking until you do succeed!"

    "Can't never did, won't never will"

    "Educated beyond your intelligence"

    "“My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.” - Stonewall Jackson. This is one of my favorite quotes ever.

    "You're sowing a crop of disrespect and you're fixing to harvest the whooping" - This one I use for my kids...

    I am a Lab Tech at a large factory. I also was motivated enough to study chemistry and get a couple of associate degrees in the science field. I find that ...

    E (energy) = M (mass) c (light)2

    And we can divide and conclude that...

    M (that which has weight) = E/c2 (basically plasma, or fire)

    There is a spiritual E/c2.. Which is...

    E - Energy, motivation, love, warmth
    c2- Light, faith, hope, charity, joy

    Just read this one in a book review:
    “Every child should have an occasional pat on the back as long as it is applied low enough and hard enough.” — Fulton J. Sheen

    If a nation has not God that nation must fall, but if a nation has God then all the powers of evil, and all the armies, cannot shake its foundations; no, not even if the whole world is arrayed against it.
