The church alone beyond all question Has for ill-gotten goods the right digestion.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

I've done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by 'the joy of strife'. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.

At the heart of excessive individualism is a broken heart

If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.

Just make the right estimation of your own strengths and weaknesses, and also that of your opponent.

Religion is spelled DO. Christianity is spelled DONE. One endlessly works to earn love. The other simply receives it!

The extreme form of power is All against One, the extreme form of violence is One against All.

Nature is not benevolent; Nature is just, gives pound for pound, measure for measure, makes no exceptions, never tempers her decrees with mercy, or winks at any infringement of her laws.

Ministry is messy because sin is messy. Get over it, get a mop and start helping people clean up!

I probably can't stand you, but that doesn't mean I don't love you.

Did I choose this life of illusion? Don't be mad. My bed was made, I just lied in it.
