Thoughtful one-liners!

I've been gathering up so many useful quotations, recently, that I thought it was time that I shared a few more.  They are not given in any particular order of either preference or importance, although one or two do seem particularly applicable to my own ongoing situation in France!

"Not everything that can be counted, counts; and not everything that counts, can be counted".  (Albert Einstein)

"The most important things in life aren't things."  (from Rick de Koster: one of my Dutch friends)

"Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness."  (Martin Luther)

"Christianity has not been tried and found to be wanting; it has been found to be difficult, and not tried!"  (G.K.Chesterton)

"To be almost saved is to be totally lost"  ('Wayside pulpit'; New Paris, Ohio)

"When things don't go your way, God has plans of His own.  Better plans!"  (Word for Today, UCB)

"Motivation gets you through the day, but inspiration lasts a lifetime."  (Nick Vujicic - born without hands,
arms, or legs: just one 'chicken drumstick'! Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4HGQHgeFE   if you dare!)

"Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done"  (Louis Brandeis)

"If you don't like the way you were born ... try being born again!"  ('Wayside pulpit'; Mobile, Alabama)
