“Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!”

The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.

Sometimes God’s refusals are His mercies.

Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.

I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

Our Heavenly Healer often has to hurt us in order to heal us. We sometimes fail to recognize His mighty love in this, yet we are firmly held always in the Everlasting Arms.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.

God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.

Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.

If you don’t have daily objectives, you qualify as a dreamer.

Continued innovation is the best way to beat the competition.

The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible.

You never want to fail because you didn’t work hard enough.

The customer is number one, the employee is number two and the shareholder is number three. If the customer is happy, the business is happy, and the shareholders are happy.

Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident.

Burn the boats as you enter the island and you will take the island.

You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
