When Mother Teresa received her Nobel Prize she was asked, "What can we do to promote world peace?" She replied, "Go home and love your family."
We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
Leonard Ravenhill once said about prayer, "One might estimate the weight of the world, tell the size of the celestial city, count the stars of heaven, measure the speed of lightning, and tell the time of the rising and the setting of the sun - but you cannot estimate prayer-power. Prayer is as vast as God because He is behind it. Prayer is as mighty as God because He has committed Himself to answer it."
You may give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
When I come to the end of my rope, God is there to take over.
In trying times, don't quit trying.
Do not follow where the path may lead - go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Wow!lovely quotes...
Hi there,
A very insightful post & thanks for inspiring me....I very much needed it.
Have a nice time ahead. :)
all are very important quotes to hold to BUT this one knock me straight into my head:
When Mother Teresa received her Nobel Prize she was asked, "What can we do to promote world peace?" She replied, "Go home and love your family."
perhaps when i am looking into something ... the answer is not that far ... so the quote from Mother Teresa is a good advise for me to start everything on myself and those closest to me rather trying to correct others afar. besides, there is no point to promote world peace while myself is not at it.
Good one! Inspirational!
Do not follow where the path may lead - go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - That's one of my all time fav quote. Glad you have put that here.
