James Richey

Who I'd like to meet:

On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
The tongue like a sharp knife... kills without drawing blood.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 1 Timothy 6:17-18 NIV
