The secret of salvation is this: keep sweet, be useful, and keep busy.

One must begin in one's own life the private solutions that can only in turn become public solutions.

Act as if what you do makes a difference, it does.

Isn't it interesting that in Acts 11, at the end of verse 26, it says, "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." What I find interesting is the simple thought that the Christians didn't name themselves. But rather, they were called (or named) "Christians" by those watching their lives. I wonder if it would be the same today. Could someone look at your life or look at my life and name me a Christian? A humbling thought for sure.

The only real blind person at Christmas-time is he who has not Christmas in his heart.

We can with confidence set a goal to make this Christmas brighter than the last and each year that follows brighter still. The trials of mortality may increase in intensity, yet for us, darkness need not increase if we focus our eyes more singly on the light that streams down on us as we follow the Master. He will lead us and help us along the path that leads upward to the home for which we yearn.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

As we serve our jobs we serve the world.

Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?

Christianity today is so subnormal that if any Christian began to act like a normal New Testament Christian, he would be considered abnormal
