If I took a space ship that could travel at the speed of light, that would take centuries. Speed of Light

  16. Also, if Energy equals mass times the Speed of Light Squared, this says that the speed of light can be squared. That’s faster than the speed of light, and I just imagined that, too! Speed of Light

  28. ships • A ship in the harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are for.

  29. ships • All the water in the world could not sink a ship unless it got inside. In the same way, all the evil in the world could never sink your soul unless you let it in.

  47. Troubles • Troubles come to pass, but the do not come to stay.

  48. Troubles • Live through the tough times: the only way to the other side is through it.
