Baucham Lamb Quotes & Sayings

What is lived is what is valued. — T.F. Hodge

We sometimes hurt those we love because they need to be "taught a lesson," when we really want to punish. We were depressed and complained we felt bad, when in fact we were mainly asking for sympathy and attention. This odd trait of mind and emotion, this perverse wish to hide a bad motive underneath a good one, permeates human affairs from top to bottom. This subtle and elusive kind of self-righteousness can underlie the smallest act or thought. Learning daily to spot, admit, and correct these flaws is the essence of character-building and good living. An honest regret for harms done, a genuine gratitude for blessings received, and a willingness to try for better things tomorrow will be the permanent assets we shall seek. — Alcoholics Anonymous

It shames me to admit that in the white-defined society in which I was raised, blacks were considered merely background. This was worse than physical segregation. This was psychological segregation.

In this life, we need the second touch of Christ. Indeed, we require a third, fourth, fifth, and continual touch. Though the scales are removed from our eyes, we still need to be led by the hand of Jesus. — R.C. Sproul

Humility is a wonderful character trait. It ensures your head and heart go through the door before your ass does. — Shelley K. Wall

That internal war doesn't seem like a product of genetic damage - it seems completely, purely human. — Veronica Roth

When you are on the knife's edge - when nobody knows exactly what is going to happen next, only that it will be worse - you take in today. — Anne Lamott
