“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

“There is time for everything; a time to MAKE the BEST and a time to TAKE a REST...”

“Our schedules are so hectic we can’t get everything done, or else we are bored and restless, constantly looking for something to amuse us. We are the most frantic generation in history—and also the most entertained. The Bible tells us that both extremes are wrong.”

“Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.”

“It mattered not what color your skin was on the outside, but rather what the condition was of your heart and mind inside.”

“The Christians who engaged in infamous persecutions and shameful inquisitions were not evil men but misguided men. The churchmen who felt they had an edict from God to withstand the progress of science, whether in the form of a Copernican revolution or a Darwinian theory of natural selection, were not mischievous men but misinformed men.”

“It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.”

“1 Peter 5 - Be well balanced because Satan 'roams about like a hungry lion seeking who he can devour.”

“Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday.”

“They, they, they. That was the problem with people like Joyce. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounded real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. It wasn't a matter of conscious choice, necessarily, just a matter of gravitational pull, the way integration always worked, a one-way street. The minority assimilated into the dominant culture, not the other way around. Only white culture could be neutral and objective. Only white culture could be nonracial, willing to adopt the occasional exotic into its ranks. Only white culture had individuals. And we, the half-breeds and the college-degreed, take a survey of the situation and think to ourselves, Why should we get lumped in with the losers if we don't want to? We become only so grateful to lose ourselves in the crowd, America's happy, faceless marketplace; and we're never so outraged as when a cabbie drives past us or the woman in the elevator clutches her purse, not so much because we're bothered by the fact that such indignities are what less fortunate coloreds have to put up with every single day of their lives-- although that's what we tell ourselves-- but because we're wearing a Brooks Brothers suit and speak impeccable English and yet have somehow been mistaken for an ordinary nigger. Don't know who I am? I'm an individual!”

“We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.”

“Prison is a still point in a turning world, and it is very easy to remain in the same place in jail while the world moves on.”

“«Nunca dudes en la oscuridad de lo que Dios te dijo en la luz».”

“I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.”

“God is not interested in your ability. He is interested in your availability. When you avail your ability to God, you become a faithful leader.”
