There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

My two favourite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library.

When I was a student I spent a lot of time in the library. That's where the books and smart girls were.

I should think I'm going to be a perpetual student.

I see more people all the time feeling something growing from within them to more fully realize their heart's desire, their desire to give more, to be more, to do more.

We're told we need this trade deal to open up vast markets to American goods, ... But the reality is that most Chinese workers cannot afford to buy the goods that even they make.

Love means having something to betray.

The man who forms the habit of beginning without finishing has simply formed the habit of failure.

I strive on pressure.

Call immediately. Time is running out. We both need to do something monstrous before we die.

I would not wear any clothes that had a brand name on them, and I only read books that were canonical.
