To be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.

Ambition that centers on the glory of God and welfare of the church is a mighty force for good.

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

One reason why people are unable to understand great Christian classics is that they are trying to understand without any intention of obeying them.

A great deal more failure is the result of an excess of caution than of bold experimentation with new ideas. The frontiers of the Kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.

The secular mind and heart, however gifted and personally charming, has no place in the leadership of the church.

The spiritual leader will choose the hidden path of sacrificial service and approval of the Lord over the flamboyant self-advertising of the world.
