Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 12:25<\/p>\n
Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 15:4<\/p>\n
My child, don\u2019t ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don\u2019t be discouraged when he corrects you.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 3:11<\/p>\n
A<\/b> father said to his complaining and failing son: \u201cSon, all you need is encouragement and a swift kick in the seat of your can\u2019ts.\u201d<\/p>\n
S<\/b>uccess comes in cans; failure comes in can\u2019ts.<\/p>\n
C<\/b>orrection can help, but encouragement can help far more.<\/p>\n
W<\/b>hen Thomas A. Edison\u2019s desk was opened years after his death, this card was found among his papers: \u201cWhen down in the mouth, remember Jonah. He came out all right.\u201d<\/p>\n
I<\/b>f the devil cannot make you puffed up by pride, he will try to dampen your spirit by discouragement. It\u2019s his best tool!<\/p>\n
W<\/b>hen the outlook is dark,<\/p>\n
And the in-look\u2019s discouraging,<\/p>\n
Just try the up-look;<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always encouraging.<\/p>\n
D<\/b>on\u2019t be discouraged; it may be the last key in the bunch that opens the door.<\/p>\n
Stonsifer<\/p>\n
H<\/b>e who eats pillows is down in the mouth.<\/p>\n
I<\/b> never allow myself to become discouraged under any circumstances.\u2026 The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.<\/p>\n
Thomas A. Edison<\/p>\n
A<\/b>ppreciation is thanking, recognition is seeing, and encouragement is bringing hope for the future.<\/p>\n
E<\/b>ncouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.<\/p>\n
Goethe<\/p>\n
D<\/b>on\u2019t discourage the other man\u2019s plans unless you have better ones to offer.<\/p>\n
A<\/b> smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
