These are some of the quotes I have heard from friends, ministers and employers over the years that continually come back to me time and time again.

"Work is the meat of life and pleasure is the desert."

"Two people cannot hate each other if they profess to love God."

"The greatest and noblest pleasure one can have, is to discover new truths, the second is to shake off old prejudices."

"Some people seem to derive a lot of pleasure from being shocked at other people's sins"

"People who's main concern is their own happiness seldom find it"

"It's pretty hard to tell, looking at non-believers what brings them happiness.. wealth and poverty have both failed."

"Money can bring some pleasure, but only to those who find pleasure in earning it.."

"It's true money cannot buy happiness…well not at today's prices"
