If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking. Robert Frost

The naive believes everything, But the sensible man considers his steps. – Proverbs 14:15

thoughts

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Isaiah 55:8-9

Agatha Christie

doing

“If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you won’t do it and it won’t happen.” Erasmus

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, Colossians 3:23
