Best Quotes about Success

Formula for Success... and then some. The top people do what's expected of them, and then some. They are thoughtful and considerate of others, and then some. They meet their obligations and responsibilities fairly and squarely, and then some. They are good friends to their friends, and then some. They can be counted on in an emergency, and then some. And so it is when we do what is assigned to us in our lives and in the church, and then some; then the Lord pays in full, and then some.

Opportunities? They are all around us... There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
