Author:Meher Baba

“I speak without exaggeration when I say that I have constructed 3,000 different theories in connection with the electric light, each one of them reasonable and apparently likely to be true.

We are immersed in a sea of persistent, worldly pressures that could destroy our happiness.

The conquering of adversity produces strength of character, forges self-confidence, engenders self-respect, and assures success in righteous endeavor.”

Ifs May Soul Faces Order Father Challenges Break Return Periods Prove Difficulty Foundation Worthy Surface Heavenly Cracks Mortality Testimony Tested Testing Heavenly Father Embedded

Author:Thomas S. Monson

Men Has Beens Fall Sound Dark Simple Existence Prove Evidence Difficulty Asking Piano Atoms Falling Down Indirect
