“Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.”

Many people allow their need for other people’s approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won’t be here long, so don’t get too attached.

For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can’t hold any back.

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

When you use your life for God’s glory, everything you do can become an act of worship

What gives me the most hope every day is God’s grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.

God’s ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

You can’t make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

People are interested by talent. God is impressed by character

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.

Life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose.

Giving is the greatest gift.

The ability to network successfully can be one of the greatest assets in business. It allows some people to find incredible opportunities, while others just watch from the sidelines.

Remember that the best and greatest among mankind are those who do themselves no worldly good. Every successful man is more or less a selfish man. The devoted fail.

Most people don’t find their creativity. There are more unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great talent.

I’ve always had a great fondness for English detective fiction such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.

I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of. Failure brings great rewards – in the life of an artist.

When you get before great people you don’t talk a lot, you ask questions.

Through the ages all great men have taught truth and happiness can’t be bought.
