“There is no kind of experience in which a Christian has a right to refuse to praise God, for ‘all things work together for good to them that love God.’”

Men have presented their plans and philosophies for the remedying of earth’s ills, but Jesus stands alone in presenting not a system, but His own personality as capable of supplying the needs of the soul.

What we need now for quickening is not so much money and wisdom as the spirit of supplication. Pray for yourself until the new life is infused. When that new life comes, it will lead you to pray for others.

When we depend upon organizations, we get what organizations can do. But when we depend upon prayer, we get what God can do.

Give us a genuine Christianity that may provoke persecution, but will not provoke contempt.

In Jesus Christ on the Cross, there is refuge; there is safety; there is shelter; and all the power of sin upon our track cannot reach us when we have taken shelter under the Cross that atones for our sins.

Prayer is the key to success. Not to pray is to fail. To pray aright is never to fail.

When we have accepted Jesus Christ, we have become akin to the Father; having become real children of God, we then have the spirit of sonship by which we can come into His presence and make known our wants in a familiar way.

He who obeys the command ‘Rejoice in the Lord’ has a Hallelujah in his soul every minute of the day and night.

Unfortunately, in Hollywood, there are those directors that have some contempt for actors. We’ve all experienced that, in one way or another.

At Grinnell College, for the first time in my life, I was in an all-white setting. It was a shocking experience.

The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.

The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven’t got to try and interpret someone’s writing; it’s all theirs. I really admire that.

From my experience and understanding, I believe money follows name and fame, while recognition calls for a huge amount of sacrifice. To get something, you have to lose something. That’s the rule of life.

As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.

The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.
