“While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.”

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.

The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.

You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.

Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face.

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

If your activities don’t match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

Love is one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

If a poem hasn’t ripped apart your soul; you haven’t experienced poetry.

Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know and that knowing will come out of your experiencing.

The secret of joy is the mastery of pain.

A true champion has experienced fatigue many times and yet always finds what they still haven’t given.

People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.

The best teacher in life is experience.
