The starting block for people who are going to stay in love is mutual submission.

Imagine a world where unbelievers were critical of what we believed but envious of how well we treated one another.

It takes a habit to break a habit. You can pray every day for a generous heart, but until you start acting in that direction, nothing’s going to change.

Without courage we will simply accumulate a collection of good ideas and regrets.

You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.

You have no idea the numbers of people that God may want to influence through you.

Direction, not intention determines your destination.

Don’t become cynical. Don’t give up hope. Don’t believe that everything is judged only by expediency. There is idealism in this world. There is human brotherhood.

True beauty is knowing who you are and believing in yourself. Happy people know their purpose, have courage to fight for it and strength to keep going.

I believe that dreamers who simply imagine things that would be nice but are not possible don’t sufficiently appreciate the laws of the universe to understand the true implications of their desires, much less how to achieve them.

Believe the incredible and you can do the impossible.

Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord…He waits quietly for the King.

I believe that the boycott that we have against Cuba is counterproductive, and it also makes the twelve million or so Cuban people suffer unnecessarily just because of a foolish policy of the United States.

In the year 2006, a person can have sufficient intellectual and material resources to build a nuclear bomb and still believe that he will get seventy-two virgins in Paradise.
