I say to everyone within the sound of my voice, 'Do not fail the Lord'. We must accept the truth that the gospel principles are not on trial but that we are.

I believe in goals, but I believe that the individual should set his own. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

To be mediocre, when only application and diligence would have netted superiority, is an error akin to sin.

Do not make small goals because they do not have the magic to stir men's souls.

It is not easy to be at peace in today’s troubled world. Necessarily peace is a personal acquisition. … It can be attained only through maintaining constantly a repentant attitude, seeking forgiveness of sins both large and small, and thus coming ever closer to God.

The essence of the miracle of forgiveness is that it brings peace to the previously anxious, restless, frustrated, perhaps tormented soul.

Sin is the result of deep and unmet needs.
