Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes it away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit.

From a book that has continued to enlighten me:

"He was a great believer in making decisions and then burning your bridges behind you so that you had to
make good, and he told how Alexander the Great once handled such a situation. It seems that the great general was about to lead him army against a powerful foe whose men greatly outnumbered his own. Because of the odds against them, his army had shown little enthusiasm for the upcoming battle as they set sail for what they feared would be their end. When Alexander finally unloaded his men and equipment on enemy shores, he issued an order for all his ships to be burned. As their means of retreat slowly sank in flames behind them Alexander rose to address his men and said " see your crafts going up in smoke, their ashes floating to the sea? That is our assurance that we shall be victorious for none of us can leave this despicable land unless we are victorious in battle. Men, when we go home we are going home in their ships!"-Og Mandino


"Then I was afloat with Edie Rickenbacker, who was asked after he was rescued, what the biggest lesson was that he had learned while drifting about with his buddies in life rafts for twenty one days when lost in the Pacific during World War 2. Rickenbacker had replied," The biggest lesson that I have learned was that if you have all the fresh water you want to drink and all the food you want to eat, you ought never to complain about anything."-Og Mandino

"Every patient carries her or his own doctor inside."

And If I stumble, and if I stall And if I slip now, and if I should fall And if I can't be, all that I could be Will you? Will you wait for me?-Alexi Murdoch
