I guess that goes for people too. 

Yours is very artistic.

Great quotes, everybody.

"People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing."

“You will never know how much you can take until you decide to stand”

That's a really good one.

“Hiding a crime does not lessen the severity of the offence; it only makes the judgment worse.”

- It is often easy to cover something up in the short-time, but usually we're are eventually caught and the consequences are much more severe than if we had simply owned up to begin with.  And if it is not revealed here on earth, what about on the day of judgment?

“Unless your foundation is sure, you will fall in the first storm.”

- Upon what foundation are you building your life, my friend?  Is it around your family, your friends?  Can that foundation survive hardship; such as death, war, and turmoil?  If you build upon any other foundation than the rock of Jesus Christ you have simply wasted your life.

“You are responsible for the person or the example you choose to follow”

-It is true that there are good role models we can follow in life, when they be from the past or present, there are good, solid men and women of God.  However that may be, ultimately it is still our choice, our soul that we must answer for.

“You will never know how much you can take until you decide to stand”

- How often do we give up on tasks, or people, simply because we believe that we're are inadequate for the job?  Does not the scripture say "With God, all things are possible"?  Why then do we balk at the things we think are to hard for us?  Have we truly tried?  Have we truly resisted unto death, striving against sin?"

“The most effective way to witness is to live it out”

- Unless you live out the words that you speak, they will actually cause the opposite affect that you intended.  This world has many salespeople today, many religions that clash for people's attention; why do we expect people to believe us any more than the other 2-dozen that came to them over the past week?  It is with our lives that we truly witness to the world around us; yes, oftentimes words are necessary as well, but unless they can the truth actually lived out, they will have no inclination to follow Christ over the pleasures of sin in this world. 

“Strive to live your life in such a way, that, if you were called away today, you could go without regrets”

- How often do we go to bed wishing that we hadn't yelled at our sibling that morning?  Or that we had remembered to just simply tell those close to us that we lose them?  Do they cease to be people with needs, just because they're near us?  I ask you, when was the last time you told one of your brothers or sisters you loved them?  If you or they were to die tonight, would you regret that the last word you spoke to them was in anger?

“Prayer is a powerful weapon that is too often left in its sheath.”

-  Many people read their Bibles, few understand it; even fewer people are willing to take just a few moments in prayer with God; and even a smaller number of those actually get anything out of it...  Why is that?  Has it become just another routine?  Is it just another motion that “good Christians” go through?  What is the point of spending an hour, or even half-an-hour on our knees talking to the air?  Do we consider what we're doing?  That the Creator of the universe is taking the time to come down and listen to our pleas?  That he is actually listening, and that he will always answer those prayers? Even if we do not always see his answer, remember that "whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."  Consider though, when you pray, that he is God...

Good bye and farewell,

David J. Thomas.

I really, really like that one...
