We need to wash the feet of our enemies.

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.

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.

I'm trying to be inspiring! I'm trying to lift your grubby soul for the great adventure that lies ahead of you!

I would like to go mad on one condition, namely, that I would become a happy madman, lively and always in a good mood, without any troubles and obsessions, laughing senselessly from morning to night.

There's no such thing as a perfect play. Sometimes you have to protect the life of the play.

The revolution has its own laws: in the period of its culmination it pushes the most highly developed, determined and far-seeing stratum of the revolutionary class to the most advanced positions.

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

The key function of banks is money creation, not intermediation.

I am hated for loving. I am haunted for wanting.

I have the same confidence in the ability of our people to reject noxious literature as I have in their capacity to sort out the true from the false in theology, economics, or any other field.
