Quotables #6

As my faithful readers know, when I come across a good quote I snap a picture of it to save for later use. It's now been about 2 months since the last posting, so here are the ones I found helpful and inspiring since then:

(I also would love to know which are your favorites!  Mine are #1, 6, 7, 9, and 10.)

5.  God does not give us everything we want but He does fulfill his promises leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself."  Dietrich Bonhoeffer
