“faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances.”
C.S. Lewis

“Like all Xhosa children, I acquired knowledge mainly through observation. We were meant to learn through imitation and emulation, not through questions. When I first visited the homes of whites, I was often dumbfounded by the number and nature of questions that children asked of their parents—and their parents’ unfailing willingness to answer them. In my household, questions were considered a nuisance; adults imparted information as they considered necessary.”
Nelson Mandela

The boss says, “Go”; the leader says, “Let’s go!”
John C. Maxwell
