Quotes (#464)

Never despair; but if you
do, work on in despair.
- Terence Mann

Forgiving's a choice you make--a gift
you give to somebody even if they don't
deserve it. It costs nothing, but it
makes you feel rich for giving it away.
- Lurlene McDaniel

Character consists of what you do
on the third and fourth tries.
- James A. Michener

Character is what you are in the dark.
- Dwight L. Moody

Characters live to be noticed. People
with character notice how they live.
- Nancy Moser

In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.
- attributed to Martin Niemoeller, German Lutheran Pastor
