THE BOOK OF TAUNT
Jump to: 

Men are like thumbtacks: they are useful if they have good heads and are pointed in the right direction.

What is God like? God loves beauty-- He could've made this world black and white. God loves individuality-- He loves freedom of choice for His subjects. He likes to test them with the unexpected. God likes variety-- no two faces or snowflakes are exactly alike.

Should every promise be wiped out of the Bible, we would still have God left, and God would be enough.

Father to son, after family prayers: "Son, don't give God orders. Just report for duty."

The deeper the valley, the higher the mountain that makes the valley.

An object obtained seldom retains the charm it had when longingly desired.

Job was one man who didn't commit suicide when the stock market crashed.

Man's feelings are a lot like the stock market, fluctuating up and down. But the Christian never sells when the stock is low.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

Forget entirely the word disappointment. Failures, so called, are but fingerposts pointing out the right direction to those who are willing to learn.

You cannot say "I sympathize," until you too have agonized. You cannot help the lonely heart unless with death you've had a part. You cannot say "Don't be afraid," until with terror you have paid the price that brings a calmness near-- then you can help another's fear.

When you play the devil's game, you are always a loser, for he is a loser.

"When the thoughts of evil are loved and cherished, however secretly," Jesus said, "it shows that sin still reigns in the heart."

"You've been reading those articles in magazines about the connection between smoking cigarettes and cancer, haven't you?" one man said to his friend who smoked. "Yes, I have," he replied, "and they've bothered me a lot." "Well, then," asked his friend, "what are you going to do about it?" "I'm not going to read any more of them," he replied.

We cannot change yesterday, that is quite clear. Nor can we begin tomorrow, until it is here. So all that is left, for you and me is to make today, the best it can be.

Do you believe in the sun when it is hidden behind a cloud? Then doubt not the goodness of God when He seems to hide His face.

Faith either removes mountains or tunnels through them.

The faith to remove mountains is the reward of those who have faith to remove little hills.

The fall of the year requires two types of people: poets to write about its glories, and the rest of us.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
