Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you." Eli to Punchinello (p. 25)

Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?

Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.

Live in such a way that the world will be glad you did.

‎Mark it down: God loves you with an unearthly love. You can't win it by being winsome. You can't lose it by being a loser. But you can be blind enough to resist it

We’re grateful when all is well, but can we say the same on disastrous days?

I know what I'll be preaching in the spring, what I'll be preaching in the summer, and what I'll be preaching next fall.
