Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity.

God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.

The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.

If, in the end, you have not chosen Jesus Christ it will not matter what you have chosen.

We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.

No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.

The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.

We should not assume; however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.

Running is in my blood-the adrenaline flows before the races, the love/hate of butterflies in your stomach.

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.

Advise well before you begin, and when you have maturely considered, then act with promptitude.

We’re long on high principles and short on simple human understanding.
