“Love has the kind of power criticism only wishes it had.”

I don’t think success is what we’ve made of ourselves; I think it’s what we’ve made of others.

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 don’t ever wish I was somebody else.

When a woman says, ‘I don’t wish to mention any names’, it means it ain’t necessary to mention any names.

If you do not wish to be lied to, do not ask questions! The only real defence civilized man has against anybody who bothers him is to lie. There would be no lies if there were no questions.

I’m not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn’t talked about at all.

I wish Elton Brand the best. He’s a great guy. He’s always going to be a great friend of mine, regardless of what goes on.

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.

The post office actually achieves its mission. I wish we could say the same of the CIA.

Ronald Reagan got a lot of democrats. I wish he hadn`t. I got to Congress with Reagan coming to the Whitehouse. The Reagan Program, a very radical one, a very drastic one passed because he had a lot of democrats. He worked at it personally and also because Reagan retained a popularity.
