If you're an old pro you know how well you're doing when you're doing it and your inner government spanks you if you're not doing well.
Our government needs to adopt a pro-market agenda that doesn't pick winners and losers but it invites competition and it levels the playing field for everyone.
In the inner city there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table than when his wife talks Greek.
I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game especially these days.
If you love those who love you what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that in the dinner the sweets come last.
No attribute of God is more dreadful to sinners than His holiness.
I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou 'cause I'm not!
We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.
