Quotes that stick out like a sore...tongue!

At my doctors appointment in January I read a quote on a nurse's white board:
"Life is a product of your decisions not your conditions. Don't let circumstances define you! Be productive, use your freedoms to make choices."
My God-father Mario sent me an email last week with the following quote:
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing in which you think you cannot do."
This was in a greeting card from Helen I just received:
"[Sometimes] God sends us a curve ball. It's up to us to catch it and deal with it. We don't know why, but there is always a reason."
My cousin Sabrina wrote me today, saying:
"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
My cousin's fiance Melinda wrote:
"Don't talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith and victory."
Stephanie, my cousin's cousin sent me this Bible verse in an email:
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
