Contentment is something one gives to self. It is not acquired from things or other people.<|>    The one who refuses to learn by listening will learn through regret. The one who refuses to learn through instruction will learn from consequences. <|>    Same material: dust. Same defect: rebellion. One remedy: repentance. One Saviour: Jesus Christ.<|>    No place is far. Every place is simply where it is.<|>    Commitments give rise to expectations.<|>    Patience seasons all dreams. <|>    Failure to cultivate a fear of God leads to a life lived in fear of God.<|>    Life is a duty station not a vacation venue.<|>    The hopeless cannot be disappointed.<|>    Whoever knows better has a duty to do better.
