“Love is never stationary.”

My best friend and I love to make fish faces.

You don’t want to pick a fight with just the guy at the deli, [you want to] pick a fight somewhere in the world and just run towards it. Run because the fight is going to go on without you if you miss it.

The way we treat people we disagree with most is a report card on what we’ve learned about love.

Do less of what you’re terrible at and more of what you’re good at. I don’t know if that sounds too simple, but it’s been working for me.

God makes confetti out of our titles and accomplishments to celebrate the poor and the humble.

One guy just kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, “I just got done telling you no, there’s nothing to report.”

If we pick recognition over influence we’ll be known for all the wrong stuff.

No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure’s off; just go love everybody without agenda.

That’s all the information I need to know about the church, Jesus picked it. And so instead of me telling the church how she would really look better if she had this in her hair, or that over there, I think I’m just respecting the Groom’s pick.

Love God, love your neighbors, and do stuff!

We can’t always see people’s pain; they can always feel our love.

Fear will give us a reason not to try; hope will give us a reason not to listen.

See people for who they’re becoming. Not who they were.

Do what lasts, get around to everything else.

When you are in high school, you don’t give much thought to what you can’t do. For most people, that gets learned later, and for still fewer, gets unlearned for the rest of life.

I’m all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I’ve been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don’t have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

If you’re going through a divorce and you’re in a comedy you have to find some way to find the funny side of things even though you might not want to.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

I’m going to be me at the end of the day. And I think my family appreciates that. They’re happy for me that I’m finding out who I am, and I’m content with that.

I learned how to pass when I was real young. That’s one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.

I prayed hard and only gradually became aware that this fierce praying was a way of finding prologue and entrance into my own writing. This came as both astonishment and relief. When I thought God had abandoned me,

We need to find ways to elevate the expectations, particularly of those individuals who may start off on a lower socioeconomic rung, who might be seen as disadvantaged. But, you know, the reason I say be seen as disadvantaged, it’s because life is so short, and there’s so much that can change.

We live in a country that used to have a can-do attitude, and now we have a ‘what-can-you-do-for-me?’ attitude, and what I try to do is find ways that we can develop common ground.

In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.
