I'm starting a Quote of the Day collection...I'm interested in hearing any more good quotes that y'all have that I could add to it. It could be anything....a little section from a powerful sermon you heard, something you read in a book, etc. Thanks, everyone! :)

??Here are some of my absolute Favorites:??

"We are all missionaries. We carry our religion with us, or we allow our religion to carry us. Wherever we go, we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ.

I agree. Prepositions are fine words to end sentences with. (I hope some of you get the joke...)

"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.” –Winston Churchill :D

Do you Like Rachel Scott quotes, Elizabeth? jk

Gnawings on a cherry,
Reeds strewn over the ground,
And the beckoning hand of a woman,
All lead in their own clever way,
To one place - the pit.

• S.L.S

Sure!
-And what are you sorry for?- For what are you sorry?

Any bad expectations against Rachel Scott which might offend an avid supporter.

Uh-oh… you have something against her? ;)

Okay, Whatever…

I already used that quote!

Which one?

Indeed. But you took it from the dictionary, right? ;)

The Winston Churchill one. :)

No, I said Winston Churchill. I used him and the dictionary as my two other witnesses for the matter to be established.

I thought perhaps you had gotten your Winston Churchill quote from the dictionary as well, though–because incidentally, that very quote was in a section in my dictionary that discusses the very question we've been discussing.

No, it was just in my memory.

Okay. I thought maybe we had the same dictionary or something.

@Nicolas: ah, okay

Wow! Those are some good quotes! Thanks for sharing!

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
-C.S. Lewis

You're welcome!! :)

queen!! son!! minstrels!!

you have to guess

I agree. Prepositions are fine words to end sentences with. (I hope some of you get the joke...)

"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.” –Winston Churchill :D

I apologize beforehand for being a hopeless Winston Churchill geek, but I must point out that this is a misquote, and that the actual point of his statement was +defending+ ending a sentence with a preposition. The whole story is that he was writing various articles for the newspapers during the war, and ended a sentence with a preposition. A conscientious reader wrote him a letter complaining of this solecism. Winston Churchill replied with a single sentence: "That is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."

In hopes of atoning for the above tirade, I offer for your consideration a few more quotes:

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. -Mark Twain

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." ~Mark Twain

"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."
-Mark Twain

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”

“Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

“The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”

Like, like, like! Wow, those are really good!!

Katara: "Aang, do I act motherly?"
Aang: "Uh… I…" stalls for time, rubbing his eyes hesitatingly
Katara: "Don't rub your eyes and speak clearly when you talk!"
Aang: jolts "Yes, ma'am."

Lol! BTW We have a new way to show action on here. Just do this ?? "action" ??. It should turn out like this; ??"action"??. Get it? :)

Edit: Oops! That wasn't supposed to happen. :P

You just heard the phone ring, so you run through the kitchen to grab the phone, not knowing that your mom has just washed the floor. You slip, practically fall on your face, and hear your mom yell, "Careful!" Thanks for telling me after I fell!

This particular story didn't happen to me, but have you ever noticed how often you mom tells you to be careful after you hurt yourself?

Yes! :)

"Hey everyone! She's GoOreos!" -Jackson

LOL!!

"The Bible does not contain the Word of God…it IS the Word of God!" -Mannie Troyer (a friend of ours)

"Find your Savior while you are young, then try to honor Him." -Esther Lietz, a 107 year old lady who lived in Germany during WWII, and who lived at a retirement home near us. She passed away last December.

confused

i said it first, ok stop picking on me.

Prayer is the secret of power.
"Cold prayers ask for a denial." ~ Charles Spurgeon
"Prayer…secret, fervent, believing prayer…is at the root of all personal godliness." ~ William Carey

Great quotes. :) Prayer really is the secret weapon that so few Christians use to its full potential!

That is so true. I'm seeing that I need to be way more diligent in my prayer. I want to see God do great things through me but I shouldn't expect anything when I don't pray as I ought to pray.

Ditto. I really should pray far more than I do.

I should do so as well. How long do you normally pray in a day?
