You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.

The rallying call to people is to give them hope. When you have hope, that's huge.

All you need do is ask, Jennia Beth Gibbs. No sense making a thief of yourself, now is there? You keep it . . . and remember that no matter how many wrong choices we've made in the past, we can always decide to make the right ones today. The past need not determine one moment of the future.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not in hand.

I still have a dream today that one day war will come to an end, that men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, that nations will no longer rise up against nations, neither will they study war any more.

Those who mourn sense the rupture of a world severed from God and thus edge closer to the Father who promises to make all things new.

We ain't goin' study war no more.

As another year ends, no doubt you have had your share of joys and disappointments. Don't live in the past, but "be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near" (James 5:8 NIV).

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future.

The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.
