Magna est veritas, et praevalebit: truth is mighty, and will prevail
Richard Paul Evans
Image
We carry around in our heads these pictures of what our lives are supposed to look like, painted by the brush of out intentions. It's the great, deep secret of humanity that in the end none of our lives look the way we thought they would. As much as we wish to believe otherwise, most of life is a reaction to circumstances.

Everyone has some inner power that awaits discovery.

You should always be careful of what you say in parting.
Richard Paul Evans

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

Image
Raising or caring for children requires sacrifice and service, which, I believe, heals us from the destructive forces of self-centeredness.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
...for we are all amateurs at life, but if we do not focus too much on our mistakes, a miraculous picture emerges. And we learn that it's not the beauty of the image that warrants our gratitude--it's the chance to paint.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
The thing is, the only real sign of life is growth. And growth requires pain. So to choose life is to accept pain.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
We are all in motion. Always. Those who are not climbing toward something are descending toward nothing.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
The depth of love is revealed in its departure.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Sometimes its not the strength but gentleness that cracks the hardest shells.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
I think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
It's our memories that make us who we are. Without them, we're nothing. If that means we have to hurt sometimes, it's worth it.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Life is not a sprint. It was never meant to be. It is just a step of faith after another.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Leah taught me that the greatest secret of life is that we find exactly what we're looking for. In spite of what happens to us, ultimately we decide whether our lives are good or bad, ugly or beautiful.
