Christopher Columbus in His Own Words

“You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

"When I miss You, Lord, I don't have to go far...I just have to look inside my heart because that's where I'll find You."

"A godly friendship doesn't need daily conversation, doesn't always need togetherness, as long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends will never part..."

"Never stop doing little things for others.  Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts."

"You may slip but God isn't going to let you fall down. His loving arms will always be there to catch you."

"Don’t mix bad words with your bad mood.  You'll have many opportunities to change a mood, but you'll never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke."

"I'm well today. I'll be well tomorrow. And the next day after that I'll still be well. But in a year you will see me, and I'll be amazing."

"Do not allow the pain of loss, to deter the process of living."

“Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.”

“Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise.”

“I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely.  I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvelous Presence.”
