Psalms 34:7,9

Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who

plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each make up your own mind as to how

much you should give. Don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person

who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have

everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, Godly people

give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will never be forgotten. For God is the one who

gives seed to the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will give you many

opportunities to do good, and he will produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be

enriched so that you can give even more generously.

favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with license of a higher order of beings.

everything needed for its fulfillment.

above that which any other experience can bring to him? Discovery! To know that you are walking

where none others have walked; that you are beholding what human eye has not seen before; that

you are breathing a virgin atmosphere. To give birth to an idea, to discover a great thought -- an

intellectual nugget, right under the dust of a field that many a brain-plough had gone over before.

To find a new planet, to invent a new hinge, to find a way to make the lightning carry your

messages. To be the first -- that is the idea. Mark

well.

Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden

assets.
