“Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.”

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.

There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.

In every position that I’ve been in, there have been naysayers who don’t believe I’m qualified or who don’t believe I can do the work. And I feel a special responsibility to prove them wrong.

Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he’ll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.

I don’t believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights.

Stand by what you believe in. People who mind won’t matter and people who matter won’t mind it.

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on.

I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.

I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.
