Loveliness unfathomable, as ever lover saw in his young bride's eye!--Tell me not of thy teeth-tiered sharks, and thy kidnapping cannibal ways. Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.

Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.
