A church begins to die when it says, ‘They were just children.

Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

I have become convinced that if God stands a child before you, for even just a minute, it is a divine appointment.

Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.

If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

Just know this: What you will do among children is as close to the heart of God and central to his kingdom as anything we could mention.

Nurturing a child’s sense of personal worth and therefore hope and dreams for a wonderful future is perhaps the most important responsibility of every grownup in a child’s life.

I'm not nervous if I think about something for nine years and then I don't write it. Even if it fades it doesn't concern me. It'll come back if it's worth it.

You are never too lost that God cannot reach you.

The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary

We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you?

We [the United States] are the world's only superpower right now, so everyone notices every bit of what we do or don't do.

We are astonished at thought, but sensation is equally wonderful.
