Thought 1:

"It is not the bee's touching of the flower that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time upon the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he who reads most, but he who meditates most - who will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian - Thomas Brooks (1608-1680) (Source)
Thought 2:

"We fear men so much - because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you - turn your thoughts to the wrath of God - William Gurnall (1617-1679) (Source)
Thought 3:

"If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future of your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren, would you do it? Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation. Over the past several decades we have stolen $15 trillion dollars from future generations so that we could enjoy a dramatically inflated level of prosperity. Our 15 trillion dollar party has been a lot of fun, but what we have done to our children and our grandchildren has been beyond criminal. We ran up the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the planet and we are sticking them with the bill. Sadly, both political parties have been responsible for the big spending that has been going on (Source)
