“What we are is much more important to Him than what we do for Him.”

Oh, from what heights of blessing it is possible for a man to fall! To what depths of sin a man can descend, even with all that spiritual background!

We are not saved in order to be a blessing to other people.

It has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky.

Deep down in the Christian’s life, always and all the time, there is to be a “no” to every demand that the flesh may make for recognition, and every demand that the flesh may make for approval.

It comes to the man who is depending on God in the thick of the fight. It comes to the one who tarries for the vision in faith.

He is the person or thing that if lost would leave us desolate.

You are never used of God to bring blessing until God has opened your eyes and made you see things as they are.

If you look up into His face and say, “Yes, Lord, whatever it costs,”

You will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.

We had taken into the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord.

No man can use his Bible with power unless he has the character of Jesus in his heart.

The essence of sin is arrogance; the essence of salvation is submission.

Prayer releases the grip of Satan’s power; prayerlessness increases it.

That is why prayer is so exhausting and so vital. If we believed it, the prayer meeting would be as full as the church.

The Christian life doesn’t get easier as one gets older.

Lay the ax to the root of the tree, and the capacity for Jesus Christ will be increased tomorrow.

I think I started doing covers when I was… what, like 9 or 10?

Nothing me and Kanye can do musically was gonna match the event of what we were trying to do. So we were trying to deliver an album and experience at one time; that was the idea for ‘Watch The Throne’.

I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

If Donald Trump builds the wall the way he builds Trump Towers, he’ll be using illegal immigrant labor to do it.

When a person knows and can’t make the others understand, what does he do?

How defeated and restless the child that is not doing something in which it sees a purpose, a meaning! It is by its self-directed activity that the child, as years pass, finds its work, the thing it wants to do and for which it finally is willing to deny itself pleasure, ease, even sleep and comfort.

I would always do the songs that I wanted to do and the songs that my parents wanted me to do.

I think I dislike what I don’t like more than I like what I like.
