Prayer is like a great love. When you start dating the silence can be awkward, but as you grow to know each other you can sit in silence for hours and just being with each other is a great comfort.

The way we see the world determines the way we live our lives

Character is built little by little, over days, weeks, months, and years, with thousands of small and seemingly insignificant acts of discipline.

Thought determines action. Do not let your whole life be a reaction to the things that happen around you each day. Let your life be an action.

If you don't have time to pray and read the scriptures, you are busier than God ever intended you to be.

We become the books we read.

On the one hand, we all want to be happy. On the other hand, we all know the things that make us happy. But we don't do those things. Why? Simple. We are too busy. Too busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy. This is the paradox of happiness that has bewitched our age.
