We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.

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.

From hope evolves faith. From faith evolves belief. From belief evolves expectations. From expectations evolve success. As long as you have hope you can achieve success.

Remember, a book is always a gift.

As much as I would love to do roles in big movies and am keen to establish myself in the industry. I don't want to sacrifice things that I really enjoy, like spending time with my family and friends.

Sleep is simply a chemical change in our brain and body (melatonin) - It?s not a place we go, it is a state of being that we fall into.

For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.

I'm also combining my love of outdoors with my desire to help others.

I admire writers who can make complicated things simple, but my own talent has been to make simple things complicated.

All disputation makes the mind deaf; and when people are deaf, I am dumb.

Shame is the dying embers of virtue.

My next guest [ for party with five favorite fictional characters] would be Scarlett from Gone With The Wind. I mean, come on, I have to know if she ever got Rhett back.
