The problem with spending your life climbing up the ladder is that you will go right past Jesus, for he's coming down.

You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.

Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting.

Failure does not shape you; the way you respond to failure shapes you.

True joy, as it turns out, comes only to those who have devoted their lives to something greater than personal happiness. This is most visible in extraordinary lives, in saints and martyrs. But it is no less true for ordinary people like us.

God sees with utter clarity who we are. He is undeceived as to our warts and wickedness. But when God looks at us that is not all He sees. He also sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become.
