Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

We cannot let the haters of this world define us. Or frighten us into no longer being ourselves.

Worry is a weighty monster with poisoned tentacles. It clutches at us, grabs at our minds, steals our breath, our will. It lurks. It pounces. It colors how we perceive the world.

When the world careens out of control, we can rest in the fact that God spun this world with a simple word. Matter from emptiness. Beauty from void. Community from chaos.

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

Dare to be brave today, and trust that when you extend your wings, you will fly.

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

Our task shouldn't be punishing the villains in our lives, but enlarging the God who heals us from all wounds.

You know that you love someone when they are on your mind from the time you awake until the time you fall asleep. That you loved them yesterday as much as you do today and more tomorrow.

My wifey is my lifey.

When I left Apple, it had $2 billion of cash. It was the most profitable computer company in the world - not just personal computers - and Apple was the number one selling computer.

Conciseness in art is essential and a refinement. The concise man makes one think; the verbose bores. Always work towards conciseness.

It's not just how hard you try, it's how well you will succeed from trying hard.

Stay faithful to your own discovery, leave the rest and life will take care of it.

If you want to do something and you have a goal, do it, don't wait, because your channel might change sometime soon - and quite unexpectedly.

The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.

A nation under a well regulated government, should permit none to remain uninstructed. It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support.
