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

  27. Ships • Noah didn’t wait for his ship to come in. . . . He built it!

  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.

  46. Time Management • There will be no crises next week. My schedule is full.

  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.

  49. Worries • Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of sorrow; it empties today of strength.
