I couldn’t have asked for more than God in deliberate grace has surprised me with!

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.

Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.

Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

I never trust frank and simple people whose stories hold together.

God, I love John Cassavetes.

Nothing is so sweet as to lie passive in God's hands, and know no will but His.

There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.

Do the Right Thing' was my first union film. I looked at the rosters, and for the most part, it was white males. Especially the Teamsters. So we had some conversations.

Actually, if you could see close in my eyes, the American flag is waving in both of them and up my spine is growing this red, white and blue stripe.

The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire; But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.

It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
