"Don’t miss God’s fingerprints all over the events, lining up people and circumstances in perfect timing to preserve His people and advance His agenda."

"When you come to the place where you can’t do anything else, you must stand still and believe… When you can’t do anything, let God do it all."

"What kind of future is in God’s plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That’s why you can hope."

"Take a deep breath and take this to heart; God has nothing to do with broken promises. When He says, I promise, mark it down—it’s going to happen."

"When you say, I don’t know exactly what God is doing, but I know he’s in control—that’s evidence you’re trusting Him."

"Doubt is a lack of confidence or assurance that God will keep his promises. Faith is an active confidence that God’s promises are always true."

"Even if God could lie, He would have no motivation. He can gain nothing by lying. Everything He wants to have happen happens."

"The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you’ve got to believe them and live by them."

"When God promises, He’s not saying, I’ll try. He means, I can and I will."

"We all know the disappointments that come when we base anticipation on what we and other humans can deliver. God will never have a problem delivering!"

"It’s not unlikely that God would lie—that would be a matter of probability. It is impossible for God to lie."

"Fear is the contradiction of faith. Faith says, Whatever it is, it’ll be okay because of God."

"The antidote for fear is the promise of God’s presence. God is with you. “For He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”(Heb 13:5)"

"Sometimes it feels like God backs away from you when you hit hard times, but that’s not true. (see Psalm 34:18)"

"While you can’t keep fear from visiting, you can slam the door in its face. With God’s promise in your hand, that’s exactly what you are able to do."

"You’ll face overwhelming odds; you’ll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you."

"While we wait, God builds our faith in His promises."

"This fight is not going to be over in 10 minutes or 10 weeks; there’s no quick solution. If you think it’s taking too long, remember, God is with you."

"It doesn’t matter what has happened, better things are coming. God’s plan produces hope in me."

"[God’s] purposes are always accomplished. His enemies are always defeated. His faithful followers are always rewarded. His Son’s throne will be established forever."

"I will not fail: God is always victorious."

"Difficult trials will naturally evoke powerful emotions in us. How would your circumstances look today if you chose to focus first on God’s promises?"

"I want to be a part of the grand plan. Being on board with God’s objectives means I understand that this is not about me."

"By your grace, I will not despair. I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

"Only when we have done all we knew to do can we wait by faith for God to do what only He can do."

"If He wasn’t going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn’t have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life."

"God looked through eternity past and He saw you and He chose to reach out and redeem you by His own grace. It’s hard to imagine that kind of love."

"Too many times we’re looking for ways to get around deep waters and dangerous fires, rather than through them. Has this ever been your experience?"

"At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don’t need to falter."

"I'm not in the habit of looking back - I leave that till I get old."

"Will probably go down to posterity as 'The man who did.'"

"A man feels impelled to do something to keep awake."

"I'm still at work with my hand to the plough and my face to the future. The shadows of evening … lengthen about me but morning is in my heart. … the testimony I bear is this: that the castle of enchantment is not yet behind me, it is before me still and daily I catch glimpses of its battlements and towers. The best of life is always further on. The real lure is hidden from our eyes, somewhere behind the hills of time."

"I did my own thinking … I have never given it out to be done by others as one gives out washing."

"We need tolerant men. We must all give in a little."

"Watch every tendency towards militarism, for we know that preparation for war leads to war."

"My mother [Eva] told me he used to go behind enemy lines, rub shoulders with the enemy forces and never get caught. … He was always saying how we have to live in harmony with all living things in this world.—Duncan Pegahmagabow (son)."

"he [agent Daly] conducts his office as being a whole Dominion Government, Indian Agent, Indian Chief and Council, all into one … the Agent appears as taking too much advantage of his powers over the Chief and council and causing a considerable strife an [animosity] amoung the Indians of this Reserve … foiling the labors of the chief and members of the council, discrediting those who assist to maintain good government of the Band."

"When I was at Rossport, on Lake Superior, in 1914, some of us landed from our vessel to gather blueberries near an Ojibwa camp. An old Indian recognized me, and gave me a tiny medicine-bag to protect me, saying that I would shortly go into great danger. The bag was of skin, tightly bound with a leather thong. Sometimes it seemed to be as hard as rock, at other times it appeared to contain nothing. At night it seemed to be rising and falling like it could breathe. I kept it with me at all times and I don't think I could have survived the war without it. —Francis Pegahmagabow"

"The significance of a basic medium to its civilization is difficult to appraise since the means of appraisal are influenced by the media, and indeed the fact of appraisal appears to be peculiar to certain types of media. A change in the type of medium implies a change in the type of appraisal and hence makes it difficult for one civilization to understand another."

"The concepts of time and space reflect the significance of media to civilization. Media that emphasize time are those that are durable in character, such as parchment, clay, and stone. The heavy materials are suited to the development of architecture and sculpture. Media that emphasize space are apt to be less durable and light in character, such as papyrus and paper. The latter are suited to wide areas in administration and trade. The conquest of Egypt by Rome gave access to supplies of papyrus which became the basis of a large administration empire."

"We have not yet realized that the Indian and his culture were fundamental to the growth of Canadian institutions."

"Canada emerged as a political entity with boundaries largely determined by the fur trade. These boundaries included a vast north temperate land area extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and dominated by the Canadian Shield. The present Dominion emerged not in spite of geography but because of it."

"The history of Canada has been profoundly influenced by the habits of an animal which very fittingly occupies a prominent place on her coat of arms."

"Canada came under the sweep of the Industrial Revolution at one stroke whereas the western movement of the United States was a gradual development. There are no transcontinental railroads controlled by one organization in the United States. In Canada transcontinental roads are distinct entities controlled in eastern Canada. Similarly in financial institutions the branch bank system with its headquarters in the east has been typical of Canada but not of the United States. No such tendency toward unity of structure in institutions and toward centralized control as found in Canada can be observed in the United States."

"The Canadian government has a closer relation to economic activities than most governments. The trade in staples, which characterizes an economically weak country, to the highly industrialized areas of Europe and latterly the United States, and especially the fur trade, has been responsible for various peculiar tendencies in Canadian development. The maintenance of connections with Europe, at first with France and later with Great Britain has been a result. The diversity of institutions which has attended this relationship has made for greater elasticity in organization and far greater tolerance among her peoples."

"The diversity of institutions has made possible the combination of government ownership and private enterprise which has been a further characteristic of Canadian development. Canada has remained fundamentally a product of Europe."
