THOUGHT: “When someone hurts us, we should write it in sand where the winds of forgiveness can erase it from view, but when someone does something good for us, we should engrave it in stone where no wind can ever remove it. Write your hurts in the sand and forget them but carve your benefits in stone to be remembered.
“The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own”.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
