I'm 17 years old, so yeah I've been writing for only seriously for a year off and on, this may sound off but i use to hate, hate poetry i dreaded having an assignment in class. One year in school, we had assignment i was well quite wonder-some and very i suppose depressed in sight of the world and everything else, and well after i did the assignment, the teacher said out of ther 200 students she has 1 of the 2 people said you had "real talent, and yours definitely stood out" i was shocked, and didn't think much of it until well a year and half later"at the touch of love" i became a sincere poet , and my writing as a carried on a bit from there, Thanks for your reading and kind words, they are much appreciated, I hope you shall enjoy all of them as time permits. I shall check out more of yours as so do you likewise. =)

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl."

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."

" Love is God’s greatest gift. But if it remains distant, unwrapped, seen only from the outside in, it is a gift hard to
understand. Love is different words in every language, but in deeds it’s the same in any language. It is everything to
Christians and nothing to tennis players. It is celebrated and misunderstood. Like a child staring at a wrapped Christmas
gift, love can be an unfathomable mystery. Philosophers wax about it. Singers croon it. Poets lament it. Capitalists market
it. Hollywood exploits it. Evolutionary biologists analyze it. Kings demand it. Performers crave it. Demons fear it. Stoics
ignore it. Skeptics deny it. Psychiatrists prescribe it. Geneticists identify it. Historians record it. Novelists depicts it. Artists
illustrate it. Parsons preach it. Playboys diminish
Movies plot it. Cynics mock it. Governments tax it. Politicians
showcase it. Nobility refines it. Children need it. But the mystery of it is best understood by saints from the inside out, for
only when it is unwrapped and used is it ever understood. Saints live it…because God is it."

"Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake."

"If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up"

"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realize it sooner"

“The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.”

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

"Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principals"


“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”

"The Devil promises you the whole world but doesn't own a grain of sand"

"All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"

"I try to live my life as if tomorrow is never promised. When I'm dead and gone, I would hope people would say "There's a guy who lived life. Life didn't live him.""

"Never Leave the One You Love for the One You Like. Cause the One You Like Will Leave You for the One They Love "

"Someday your life will flash before your eyes, Make sure it's worth watching."

"There is a difference between religion and salvation.
Religion is man trying to do something for God
-salvation is God doing something for man."

"Law condemns the best man; grace saves the worst man."

"God saves us, not for what we are, but what can he make us."

"Those who live right won't get left"

"A sunset is heaven's gate ajar"

"For a Christian, death is a last shadow before heaven's dawn"

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved

"Character is what a person is in the dark."

"Socrates taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, Aristotle for 40, and Jesus for only 3. Yet the influence of Christ's 3-year ministry infinitely transcends the impact left by the combined 130 years of teaching from these men who were among the greatest philosophers of all antiquity."

"From first to last, Jesus is the same; always the same - majestic and simple, infinitely severe and infinitely gentle. Throughout a life passed under the public eye, He never gives occasion to find fault. The prudence of His conduct compels our admiration by its union of force and gentleness. Alike in speech and action, He is enlightened, consistent, and calm. Sublimity is said to be an attribute of divinity: what name, then, shall we gave Him in whose character were united every element of the sublime?"

"I know Men; and I will tell you that Jesus is not a man. Everything in him amazes me. His spirit outreaches mine, and His will confounds me. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other being in the world. He is truly a being by Himself. His ideas and His sentiments; the truth that He announces; His manner of convincing; are all beyond humanity and the natural order of things.

"His birth, and the story of His life; the profoundness of His doctrine, which overturns all difficulties, ans is their most complete solution; His Gospel; The singularity of his mysterious being; His appearance; His empire; His progress through all centuries and kingdoms; all this is to me a prodigy, an unfathomable mystery."

"I see nothing here of man. Near as I may approach, closely as I may examine, all remains above my comprehension-great with a greatness that crushes me. It is vain that I reflect- all remains unaccountable!"

" I defy you to cite another life like Jesus Christ"
