"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed....therefore we do not lose heart."
- 2 Corinthians 4:9,16

- Frank Borman
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them more.
