“Most unmarried people have no idea what it takes to make a marriage work; they grossly underestimate the price people have to pay to build long-term, mutually satisfying relationships.”

We live in a world that is crying out for better leadership.

People won’t give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.

And they fail to understand that the only people with the strength to pay that price are those who have plumbed the depths of their relationship with God, and have dealt with their own brokenness.

Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.

The best gift you can give a human being is an introduction to a God who loves them.

People join organizations, they leave managers.

If you don’t change your schedule, you’ll be the same person you’ve always been.

We all have strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. In fact, an average person has 3.4 blind spots.

Religion is spelled DO. Christianity is spelled DONE. One endlessly works to earn love. The other simply receives it!

Develop your reflective will and gain better insight before you say or do something.

Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.

It doesn’t seem that long ago to me that the word ‘irreverent’ seemed affixed to my name. ‘Irreverent newcomer.’ I went from irreverent to venerable in what seems to me like the blink of an eye.

I grew up in a tough neighborhood where a lot of kids were older than me.

On the dashboard of our family car is a shallow indentation about the size of a paperback book. If you are looking for somewhere to put your sunglasses or spare change, it is the obvious place, and it works extremely well,

I wanted to be a forensic scientist when I was younger. For a long time, I was studying because I wanted to do that sort of stuff.

This is the end of this subject for me for a long time.

I want to bring back the pride and tradition long associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and more importantly, with the people of Pittsburgh.

There is that in the soul of man which must respond to the highest in virtue. It may not respond at once. Human nature can easily be over-faced by examples too remote and austere.

Beyond highways and roads, we need more money for mass transit, intercity passenger rail and freight rail. We have a long way to go to bridge the funding gaps.
