You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
You are as close to God as you choose to be.
I'd rather live dangerously for Jesus than exist safely for people's approval.
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
