“The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church…is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.”

More depends on my walk than talk.

Faith makes all things possible, love makes all things easy.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

I have never met a man who has given me as much trouble as myself.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.

When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.

It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.

The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves .

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.

The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.

Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.

The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord’s work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.

There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.

Prayer is a serious thing. We may be taken at our words.

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

When I came back, after all those stories about Hitler and his snub, I came back to my native country, and I could not ride in the front of the bus. I had to go to the back door. I couldn’t live where I wanted. Now what’s the difference?

I don’t want to be liked. I want to be respected. Because if you like me you can throw me away too quick. If you respect me, you may not even like what I was wearing, but you’ll say, “I respect that.”

I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference God has given me this new chance.

Rule One. You must know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy assets. An asset is something that puts money in my pocket. A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket.

Differences will always exist, but division doesn’t always have to result.

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.

I live in my dreams — that’s what you sense. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own. That’s the difference.
