Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.

When love is not accepted move on; when love is not appreciated walk away; hopefully time will teach what real, true love is.
