Paul's Favourite Quotations

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death. I will fear no evil: for thou art with me:
they rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil:
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord for ever.

"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it"

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. PHILIPPIANS 4:13

Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. JOSHUA 1:9

It's Better to Have Tried
by: Edgar A. Guest, Source Unknown

'Tis better to have tried in vain,
Sincerely striving for a goal,
Than to have lived upon the plain
An idle and a timid soul.

'Tis better to have fought and spent
Your courage missing all applause,
Than to have lived in smug content
And never ventured for a cause.

For he who tries and fails may be
The founder of a better day;
Though never his the victory,
From him shall others learn the way.

SUCCESS IS YOUR CHOICE Success or failure? It's always your choice. You alone have the responsibility to shape your life. Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you success. More powerful than all the success slogans ever written is the realisation that everyone has but one boss. That boss is you. Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it. No one can keep you from success but you. If you think success is luck, you are right. If you think success is what you create, you are right. Success is your choice. Enjoy your week Champs!
Cheers Shelley Taylor-Smith

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody. - Herbert Bayard Swope

SCOTTISH GRACE by Robert Burns
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.

It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achieve- ment;
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
