Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

The Christian faith is ultimately not only a matter of doctrine or understanding or of intellect, it is a condition of the heart.

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

Faith is the refusal to panic.

The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.

The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.

Conviction is not repentance; conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.

One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.

You are intelligent, you are diplomatic, you are beautiful, and you are and always will be...[he kisses her]...MINE...

The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.

Your knowing a thing is nothing, unless another knows you know it.

I feel myself dissolving, vanishing into nothingness, for if there is no one in the world who cares for you, do you really exist at all?

Men do not fail; they give up trying.

For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.

It is important to meet people where they are. It reminds me of yoga, to which people may flock for the physical benefits, often to find that the spiritual benefits match or even outweigh them.

Man is not to drown himself in the well of the Shastras, but he is to dive in their broad ocean and bring out pearls.
