"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." Edward Everett Hale (Barbara learned this in grade school)

“This is my Bible. I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today, I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same, in Jesus’ name!” Joel Olsteen

"Cold hands, warm heart, dirty feet, no sweetheart" Folk Saying

"Be quiet, you might learn something good" Herman Cain
