"I never search for a reason why – I have faith in the Lord’s purpose." ― Willie Stargell Topic(s): Faith More From Willie Stargell "I’m always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don’t get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself." "There’s nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street." "I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience." More In Faith "You can’t be afraid to put out a fire if you’re a fireman. You can’t be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you’re afraid to get up and go out there. So you’ve got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that."― Duane Chapman "We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind."― John Bacon "If you want to lose your faith, make friends with a priest."― G. I. Gurdjieff
