A visionary may see, but a leader must decide.

Disciples [deep people] are not manufactured wholesale. They are produced one by one, because someone has taken the pains to discipline, to instruct and enlighten, to nurture and train one that is younger.

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

The spiritual leader should outpace the rest of the church, above all, in prayer.

Faith never knows where it is being led, or it would not be faith. True faith is content to travel under sealed orders.

We should always aim to read something different=not only the writers with whom we agree, but those with whom we are ready to do battle. Their point of view challenges us to examine the truth and to test their views...and let us not comment on nor criticize writers of whom we have heard only second-hand, or third-hand without troubling to read their works for ourselves...Don't be afraid of new ideas.

Before we can conquer the world, we must first conquer the self.
