Money is one of the most important subjects of your entire life. Some of life's
greatest enjoyments and most of life's greatest disappointments stem from your
decisions about money. Whether you experience great peace of mind or constant
anxiety will depend on getting your finances under control.

We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know
where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life

We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books said to come

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.. you are now lying
in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference
between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in
this country of ours.. You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries
wipe away your tears. Your sons are now living in our bosom and are in peace.
Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well

I absolutely believe in the power of tithing
and giving back. My own experience about
all the blessings I've had in my life is
that the more I give away, the more that
comes back. That is the way life works,

It is once your ideas have been transformed
into enough money, and if all failed, you
would still live your lifestyle, and you
understand that just because you have made
more money than most, you are not better

I swore I was going to exclusively collect

I found that in prison that I had more time
to read the Bible, I had more time to contemplate
life, and more time to look upon my fellow
man. And I worked very hard during the period
in there to help other people in the same
situation. And I think that even in the
most dastardly people, there is a goodness
there, and you've got to find that goodness.
Alan

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people
enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work
for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa –

Richard

There is a spiritual side to our connection with the planet. And in this
material world, that's anathema. It is somewhat worrying. What I say.. it makes

we make mistakes. And, boy, are the leaders of the world making mistakes at the

Your life right now is a reflection of your
past thoughts. That includes all the great
things, and all the things you consider
not so great. Since you attract to you what
you think about most, it is easy to see
what your dominant thoughts have been on
every subject of your life, because that
is what you have experienced.
Rhonda

Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things
in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts
that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start,
and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you
more just like them.

It seems that we have it backward in our

Noone knows exactly where thought comes

In order for us human beings to commit ourselves
personally to the inhumanity of war, we
find it necessary first to dehumanize our
opponents, which is in itself a violation
of the beliefs of all religions. Once we
characterize our adversaries as beyond the
scope of God's mercy and grace, their lives
lose all value.

The world’s forests need to be seen
for what they are.. giant global utilities,
providing essential services to humanity
on a vast scale. Rainforests store carbon,
which is lost to the atmosphere when they
burn, increasing global warming. The life
they support cleans the atmosphere of pollutants
and feeds it with moisture. They help regulate
our climate and sustain the lives of some
of the poorest people on this Earth.

To have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life. And there are
three components to that purpose, one is to find out who you really are, to discover
God, the second is to serve other human beings, because we are here to do that
and the third is to express your unique talents and when you are expressing your
unique talents you lose track of time.

You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don't they? They just

I just found it interesting to talk to adults I admired, and to discover that
the path they took was never all that clearly defined. It was comforting to me

you just have to take a few steps in one direction, and other opportunities will
open up.

I'm convinced that we can write and live our own scripts more than most people
will acknowledge. I also know the price that must be paid. It's a real struggle
to do it. It requires visualization and affirmation. It involves living a life

personality the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and the intuition are ultimately
integrated and harmonized.

The biggest shock when I lost it all was
the realization that so much of my life
had been out of my control. When I started
to make the money back, I vowed that it
would never happen again. I
bought things only when I could afford them.
There was no big mortgage, no cars on hire
purchase. I remember buying a TR6 sports
car for £6,000, and funnily enough
it gave me more pleasure than the Porsche
ever had.

With savages, the weak in body or mind are
soon eliminated; and those that survive
commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health.
We civilized men, on the other hand, do
our utmost to check the process of elimination;
we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed,
and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and
our medical men exert their utmost skill
to save the life of every one to the last
moment. There is reason to believe that
vaccination has preserved thousands, who
from a weak constitution would formerly
have succumbed to smallpox. Thus the weak
members of civilized societies propagate
their kind. No one who has attended to the
breeding of domestic animals will doubt
that this must be highly injurious to the
race of man. It is surprising how soon a
want of care, or care wrongly directed,
leads to the degeneration of a domestic
race; but excepting in the case of man himself,
hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow
his worst animals to breed.

Every individual’s purpose in tithing
