A good time occurs precisely when we lose track of what time it is.

Grace cannot prevail...until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.

Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works.

Even to this day, grace remains hard to swallow. Religiosity and moralism go down easier than free forgiveness.

We are not saved by what Jesus taught, and we are certainly not saved by what we understand Jesus to have taught. We are saved by Jesus Himself.

However much we hate the law, we are more afraid of grace

Heaven is populated entirely by forgiven sinners

We were given appetites, not to consume the world and forget it, but to taste its goodness and hunger to make it great.

Salvation is a gift given, not a bargain struck.

The truth that makes us free is always ticking away like a time-bomb in the basement of everybody's church.

I like a cook who smiles out loud when he tastes his own work. Let God worry about your modesty; I want to see your enthusiasm.

Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of all the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life.

Who am I to say that these things might nit be forever? Who is Peter Van Houten to assert as fact the conjecture that our labor is temporary?

I've given her signs! I've given her plenty of signs. What does she want me to do? Slap him across the face with my glove, and challenge him to pistols at dawn?

Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.

Christmas moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves & directs our thoughts to giving.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

Certes, they been lye to hounds, for an hound when he cometh by the roses, or by other bushes, though he may nat pisse, yet wole he heve up his leg and make a countenance to pisse.

People often belittle the place where they were born.

Knowing what to do and not doing it is the same as not knowing what to do.

In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater awareness of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are affected by it.
