Strong Mistake Good Friend

More From Richard G. Scott

The intentions of a tool are what it does. a hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. they are what it is made for. but sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don't know. sometimes in doing what you intend, you also do what the knife intends, without knowing.
Technology Knives Knowing
Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.
Mistake Important Be Kind
Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ... we never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and christ, because he was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means—the only complete realist.
Strong Mean Fighting
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. this is an obvious lie. only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... a man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. that is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.
Motivational Strong Lying
There are people who say, "god is in complete control of everything that happens, and if the earth is getting warmer, then maybe god intends that." well, no. god intends for us to take responsibility for how we treat god's creation, and if we choose to use the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet as an open sewer for 110-million tons of global-warming pollution every day, the consequences are attributable to us. and if you are a believer, as i am, i think god intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.

True individualists tend to be quite unobservant; it is the snob, the would be sophisticate, the frightened conformist, who keeps a fascinated or worried eye on what is in the wind.

O christ, my life, possess me utterly. take me and make a little christ of me. if i am anything but thy father's son, 'tis something not yet from the darkness won. oh, give me light to live with open eyes. oh, give me life to hope above all skies.

I have been told by persons of experience in matters of taste, that the fashions follow a law of gradation, and are never arbitrary. the new mode is always only a step onward in the same direction as the last mode; and a cultivated eye is prepared for and predicts the new fashion.
Fashion Eye Law
In a country where christians were looked upon with suspicion and disfavor, a government leader said to me with a twinkle in his eye, 'christians seem to thrive under persecution. perhaps we should prosper them, and then they would disappear.'
