If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.

Real integrity stays in place whether the test in adversity or prosperity.

When a person does something, it has the man or woman look about it. It drips with humanity. You can follow the logic of it and see the meaning behind it.

"Do not lean on your own understanding." That means don't bring in the crutches and lean on them, those crutches that you have designed and made to handle such situations. Stay away from them. Don't lean on them; lean on God.

Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.

God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.

Ours is a bad, bad world, but does that mean nothing's good? Does it mean we have run out of things for which to be grateful? No, no, a thousand times, no!
