The test of your character is what it takes to stop you.
It is a sin to do less than your best.
A man is a fool who leans on the arm of flesh when he can be supported by the arm of Omnipotence.
Don't sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the immediate.
Don't ask God to give you a light burden. Ask Him to give you strong shoulders to carry a heavy burden.
What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.
