General Quotes

“The book of Proverbs warns us over and over again about negative associations. Constant exposure to wrong attitudes and wrong values will eventually take its toll in our lives.

The kind who bring out the best in you, who lift you up, who encourage you, who make you a better person.”
Rick Warren

“Some feel that it is fair for those with incomes under a certain dollar amount not to pay any federal tax.
