When we are on the beach we only see a small part of the ocean. However, we know that there is much more beyond the horizon.

When people come up and give me a compliment... I take each remark as if it were a flower. At the end of the day I lift up the bouquet of flowers I have gathered throughout the day and say, 'Here you are, Lord, it is all Yours.'

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.
