The words we speak to each other should leave stretch marks, not bruises. Love is always picky about what it says.

Stand up like a mountain; have faith like a rock; love like an avalanche

Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later.

Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.

God never said He'd eliminate all of the chaos from our lives; He just said He'd bring meaning to it.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can't afford it, pride doesn't understand it and friends never forget it.

No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off; just go love everybody without agenda.

Instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes God wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, do something about it, and bow our whole lives to Him instead.

We won't be distracted by comparison if we're captivated with purpose.

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

That's what love does - it pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. When you go after something you love, you'll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything.

Loneliness and desperation are only possible when we have lost touch with our beauty within.

Wisdom comes not from reason but from love.

If gentlemen prefer blondes then I'm a blonde that prefers gentlemen.

You can’t out-spend the giants, but you can out-think, out-teach, and out-help them.

It's very important that you never depend on money to fulfill your creative vision. If you do that, you're doomed to fail.

Life is populated with scarecrows—all those people and things that seem so scary and trouble our sleep. Isn't it nice to know that most of them turn out to be made of nothing but straw?

I do not care to paint portraits indoors. I cannot feel sympathetic.

At least it's really entertaining when I embarrass myself.

With every farewell comes a hidden hope.

There's nothing good, there's nothing moral about taking money from people who earn it.
