To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.

The greatest detriment to tomorrow's success, is today's success.

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.

That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.

Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.

If you don't know how to do it, get around someone else who does.

Some people want tolerance to mean now that all ideas are equally valid. That's nonsense. There are some things that are right and there are some things that are wrong.
