Here are some of my favorite quotes about the three most important things in the world. 🙂
FAITH
“Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.”
~ Kahlil Gibran
“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.”
~ Mother Theresa
“Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.”
~ Ramona Carroll
“God has put something noble and good into every heart His hand created.”
~ Mark Twain
“The principle part of faith is patience”
~ George MacDonald
HOPE
“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.”
~ Anne Lammott
“Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.”
~ Charles Allen
“Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.”
~ Augustine of Hippo
“Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper.”
~ Francis Bacon
LOVE
“There are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”
~ Johnny Depp (Don Juan de Marco, 1995)
“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
~ Robert Heinlein
“They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.”
~ Oscar Wilde
“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.”
~ Mark Overby
“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”
~ Joyce Brothers
