We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.

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.

Anger slowly.Forgive quickly.Trust cautiously.Love easily.

I think it's a shame that something as creative and vital to the nature of the human species as story-telling is largely controlled by the soulless cretins known as publishers.

There is not much irony when people are being happy on screen.

My style is basically trend following, with some special pattern recognition and money management algorithms.

The men of the East may spell the stars, And times and triumphs mark, But the men signed of the cross of Christ Go gaily in the dark.

I park two blocks away from Nickelodeon studios and I hop on my skateboard and I skateboard the rest of the way to the studio.

What I want to accomplish artistically amounts to nothing more than fulfilling the promise of the American Revolution.

We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.

The older we get, the less prone we are to putting off what we really want to do, therefore you will be able to seek out new directions later.

Too long, that some may rest, tired millions toil unblest.
