True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.

A leader is a person who has learned to obey a discipline imposed from without, and has then taken on a more rigorous discipline from within. Those who rebel against authority and scorn self-discipline - who shirk the rigors and turn from the sacrifices - do not qualify to lead.

Jesus was the meeting place of eternity and time, the blending of deity and humanity, the junction of heaven and earth.

True leaders must be willing to suffer for the sake of objectives great enough to demand their wholehearted obedience.

Often truly authoritative leadership falls on someone who years earlier dedicated themselves to practice the discipline of seeking first the kingdom of God. Then, as that person matures, God confers a leadership role, and the Spirit of God goes to work through him.

If we are meticulously careful with the use of the days, the years will take care of themselves.

Once the joy of intimacy with God has been experienced, life becomes unbearable without it.
