One reason why we fail to hear God speak is that we are not attentive. We suffer from what might be called 'spiritual mindlessness.'

Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.

The most important task of your life is not what you do, but who you become.

If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.

Love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don't have.

What repeatedly enters your mind and occupies your mind, eventually shapes your mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.

When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.

I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior.

Truth is very simple in nature, people just manipulate to make it fancy and complex...

In my view, compassion takes empathy to another level. With compassion, there is an internal calling to move empathy into action. Compassion is love in action.

If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?

Art is the triumph over chaos.

If you have no goals you will be bored: you will be unhappy because you are empty.

I want to be the girl with the most cake.

Throughout history, the Poles have defended Europe. They would fight, and - between battles - they would eat and drink.

Money and art are far apart.

China's got a billion people and a hit record over there is a million records. You know that ain't right.

The tragedy of all of this is that it happened to me and it shouldn't have happened. It ruined my life and my career. That's the tragedy of this.
