If your intuition is telling you not to do something, then don't. Your intuition is not stupid.

More than fifty-five years ago my father told me, "The Bible does not belong on the shelf but in your hand, under your eye, and in your heart."

It took me a long time to understand that God is not the enemy of my enemies. God is not even the enemy of God's enemies.

Don't let your life wait for other people.

If you can laugh at yourself, you are going to be fine. If you allow others to laugh with you, you will be great.

First they arrested the Communists - but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats - but was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists - and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and then the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me - and there was no one left to do anything about it.

For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
