Matthew7:13-14
13 ?Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 ?For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, ?I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Acts 4:12
12 ?And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.?
Romans 10:9
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, ?WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE diSAPPOINTED.?
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his soul.
Jesus

Good quotes everyone. I like Einstein’s one from today’s strong words, that nietzche ‘ubermensch’ one. And Common Sense, from ‘The Truth’
'Let the truth be told from young souls that become old
From days spent in the jungle, where must one go
To find it, time is real, we can’t rewind it
Out of everybody I met, who told the truth? Time did
We find kids speakin cuz it’s naturally in us
But the false prophets tellin us we’re born sinners
Venders of hate, got me battling my own mind state
At a divine rate, I ain’t in this just to rhyme great
See the truth in the thighs of a stripper, the eyes of my nigga
If it’s only one, then why should it differ
So constantly I seek it
Wonderin why I gotta drink a six pack to speak it
Took a picture of the truth and tried to develop it
Had proof, it was only recognized by the intelligent
Took the negative and positive, cuz niggas got to live
Said I’ve got to get more than I’m given
Cuz truth’ll never be heard in religion
After searchin the world, on the inside what was hidden
It was the truth’
Great quotes jj

In the end we will not remember the voice of our enemies, but the silence of our friends— Martin Luther King jr
People are often unreasonable and self centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be good enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and your God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“Dedicated” and “consistent” don’t mean obsessed. Most of the time, obsession is a word lazy people use to describe people who do more than just sit around and talk about what they’re GONNA do, or throw in some half-assed effort and then give up when they don’t get good results.
