INSPIRATION


Some people in life seem to want everything given to them, they complain about the slightest irritation or difficulty, and they give up at the first sign of trouble. However, every so often, you come across the story of someone who has faced the most difficult of challenges and impossibilities and continued on to make a difference in this world, here are some stories of just such people.

THOUGHTS ABOUT INSPIRATION

A good example is the best sermon one can preach.

The most important single influence in the life of a person is another person.

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day.
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear.
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.
I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
For I might misunderstand you and the high advice you give.
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day.
