“A Christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a Christian is quite another thing. A ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing.”

Prayer is a serious thing. We may be taken at our words.

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

We ought to see the face of God every morning before we see the face of man.

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.

The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.

Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.

When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same.

God doesn’t expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him!

The voice of sin is loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.

I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord’s people were divided.

When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still, If a man has got the Word, he must speak or die.

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow.

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.

If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.

Sometimes I don’t know what takes me over during a game. Sometimes I just feel I have moved to a different place and I can make the pass, score the goal or go past my marker at will.

White folks are not going to come to see a bunch of guys with tattoos, with cornrows. I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks different, they’re stupid.

All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.

One of the reasons we stay so alone in our lives is because we’re ashamed to talk about the hard stuff. It’s as simple as that. We’re all in pain in different ways, and we don’t get the help we need because we’re too ashamed to talk about the pain.

From 15 to 18, everybody is a different person. Every six months, I have a whole new outlook on life.

With love, there are so many layers to it that you can write all day about it. It’s not just heartbreak or falling in love; there’s so many different ways to look at it.

Since I don’t look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good.

Maybe letting go isn’t all that different to loving you.
