Jones

“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” Wm. Faulkner

“Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.” – William Carey, Father of Modern Missions

“Do not despise your place, your gifts, or your voice, for you cannot have another’s, and it wouldn’t fulfill you if you could.” -John Ortberg

Goethe wrote: “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of.”
