“SELF-DISCIPLINE, more than any other personal quality I can think of, is the one thing that separates successful people from the unsuccessful. Think of all it encompasses: honoring commitments, promises and deadlines, keeping your life on schedule, being willing to go the extra mile... Self-discipline is essential to success. The alternative is a life ruled by emotions, and none of us can afford that if we're going to fulfill our purpose and realize our potential.” PeopleIfsThinkingI CanSelfPurposeRealizingEmotionQualitySuccessfulOne ThingWillingDisciplinePromiseEssentialsCommitmentMilesAlternativesExtrasSuccessful PeopleSelf DisciplineSchedulesDeadlineUnsuccessfulExtra MilePersonal Qualities Author:John C.

“Ye children of promise who are awaiting your call to glory, take possession of the inheritance that now is yours. By faith take the promises. Live upon them, not upon emotions. Remember, feeling is not faith. Faith grasps and clings to the promises. Faith says, "I am certain, not because feeling testifies to it, but because God says it.” ChildrenFeelingsRememberCertainFaithEmotionPromiseGloryPossessionInheritance Author:Bernard de Mandeville

“Don't bother Me with promises. Vows are cheaply manufactured, come with no guarantees. Don't bother to say you love me. The word is indefinable. Joy to some, heartbreak to others, depending on circumstance. There is evidence that the emotion can make a person live longer, evidence it can kill you early. I think it's akin to a deadly disease. Or at least some exotic fever. Catch it, and you'd better, quick, swallow some medication to use as a weapon against the fire ravaging body and soul.” ThinkingPersonsSoulUseBodyJoyEmotionFireCircumstancesPromiseDiseaseWeaponsEvidenceBotherGuaranteesVowFeverExoticMedicationIndefinableDeadly Diseases Author:Ellen Hopkins
“There is no such thing as privacy between a deity and his worshipper. There are no secrets, no glossed-over failures. Only promises kept and abandoned, sins committed and imagined, and raw emotion.

“There is a fine line between love and hate, or haven't you heard? Sometimes it's hard to decipher exactly which emotion is strongest." I raised my chin. "I don't love you either." He lowered his head and watched me from underneath his dark lashes. "Are you certain? Because the emotion pouring out of you every time I'm near you is certainly not disinterest." "That doesn't mean it's love." "It could be, I promise you. Take off that sweater and give me ten minutes, and you'll believe beyond a shadow of a doubt you're in love.” GivingBelieveMeanSometimesHardCertainHateLinesDarkEmotionDoubtHeardMinutesLove YouHavensFinePromiseTenShadowGive MeRaisedStrongestI PromiseChinsPouringLove And HateSweatersFine LinesLashesDecipherDisinterestI Don't Love You Author:Darynda Jones
