- “Comparison is the thief of joy,” attributed to President Theodore Roosevelt
- “I don’t need to worry about what blessings others have been granted and I denied. I must not let the weaknesses of others or differences between the events and circumstances of my life and others’ lives determine what kind of disciple I will be. How they follow and what blessings or hardships happen in their lives compared to mine, is between them and their Lord. I have control over only one life: my own. I have command over only one discipleship: my own.” What seek Ye?, S. Michael Wilcox
