Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have hostility is not from God bitterness unforgiveness all of these are attacks from Satan.

Someday after mastering the winds the waves the tides and gravity we shall harness for God the energies of love and then for a second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes and say 'O God forgive me ' or 'Help me.'

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

I don't know where I'm going to be in three years. Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities to stop being an actress to do something else... for me the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.

The future author is one who discovers that language the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language will serve him in winning through to his way.
