“Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his.”

Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.

I’ve always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I’m an actor, but felt sorry for me because they’d never seen anything I’ve done.

My family knew I was gay when I was 15, long before I got famous. But it’s a very different thing coming out to your family and coming out to the universe. That’s a big step.

Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and your wife know about you.

Home is the place we love best and grumble the most.

I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.

And if you think that anybody is going to frighten me, you don’t know me yet.

Sinners cannot find God for the same reason that criminals cannot find a policeman: They aren’t looking!

An excuse is a skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.

If you are strangers to prayer you are strangers to power.

The reason you don’t like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.

I pity anyone who can’t laugh. There must be something wrong with their religion or their lives. The devil can’t laugh.

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.

Whenever a day comes when I can stand and preach God’s Word without an agony of anxiety lest the people will not accept Christ; whenever a day comes when I can see men and women coming down the aisles without joy in my heart, I’ll quit preaching.

I want to preach the gospel so plainly that men can come from the factories and not have to bring along a dictionary.

The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.

Truly compassionate action arises spontaneously without thought and is carried out in real action with no anticipation of reward and, indeed, no concept of a doer of that action.

You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results and no reward.

Inspiration comes from displacement. Get out of your comfort zone, the rewards are legion.

Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to us.

True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.

There’s no reward in life without risk.

Nature is just to all mankind, and repays them for their industry. She renders them industrious by annexing rewards in proportion to their labor.

The lesson is, the rewards in life don’t always go to the biggest, or the bravest, or the smartest. The rewards go to the dogged; and when your going though hell, to the person who just keeps going.
