We know nothing of humility by nature--for we are all born proud!- J.C. Ryle
No one can stop a ticking clock, but the great ones always find a way to slow it down. --"Sonny Weaver, Jr." (Kevin Costner)(In the film _Draft Day_ [2014], written by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph)
Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock and roll. --Shigeru Miyamoto (1952- )
There is plenty of room at the top because very few people care to travel beyond the average route. And so most of us seem satisfied to remain within the confines of mediocrity. --Nnamdi Azikiwe (1904-1996)_My Odyssey_ [1971]
"A sanctified heart is better than a silver tongue... Prayer is a matter more of the heart than the head. In prayer it is not so much fluency that prevails, as fervency; nor is God so much taken with the elegance of speech, as the efficacy of the Spirit. Humility is better than volubility; here the mourner is the orator; sighs and groans are the best rhetoric." Thomas Watson (1620 - 1686), in 'The Art of Divine Contentment.'
