The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

Be bold in life. Seize the moment. There is no surrender, no retreat. There is only conquer or be conquered, victory or defeat. Anything less is to be forgotten to history.

Your ocean of joy in not out there. Find it inside of you and swim there forever.

Now, I don’t think I’m a stupid guy. I’m just an average guy who doesstupid things.

No one can bar the road to truth and to advance its cause I'm ready to accept even death.

My mentality is: I'm going to do it. I'm going to eat a lot of food, and then I'm going to complain about it when I see myself on camera.

What is man, when you come to think upon him, but a minutely set, ingenious machine for turning with infinite artfulness, the red wine of Shiraz into urine?

I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.

I back away from negativity - there's too much in this world, and I don't want to be around it.

There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today.
