“Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.”

Failure isn’t a character quality. It’s just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

God specializes in giving people a fresh start.

Life minus love equals zero.

Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.

God doesn’t intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you, too.

Other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.

You weren’t put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.

Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.

When God is at the center of your life, you Worship, when He’s not, you Worry.

Wearing a mask wears you out. Faking it is fatiguing. The most exhausting activity is pretending to be what you know you aren’t.

You cannot fulfil God’s purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Today’s greatest labor-saving device is tomorrow.

When you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone.

Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying not waiting to deliver your lines.

In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.

Yes, they are carnal, both of them, love and death, and therein lies their terror and their great magic!
