The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have come.

Anyone can stay true to your face, it's the people who stay true behind your back that really count.

Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing.

We are very good judges for the mistakes of others, but very good defence lawyers for our own mistakes.

I think that the gifts of the spirit are always subject to the control of the person who's exercising them. You're not forced in to doing it. Love never forces. And therefore 'the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet' is another way it is put. You don't suddenly find yourself taken over by a spirit and find yourself speaking tongues. You're in control, but it's a gift. You can stop and start as you please, but it's a way of communicating with God.

Friendship multiplies joy and divides sorrow.

We have been forgiven so much that nothing we forgive compares to the amount we have been forgiven.
