Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.

Humility does not mean weakness. It does not mean timidity. It does not mean fear. A man can be humble and fearless. A man can be humble and courageous.

GRACE is not an excuse, for a sloppy life, it's the Power to overcome it!

Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do.

Don't pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

God is looking for imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-moment dependence on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies, fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with 'surviving' and have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life.

The higher the hill, the stronger the wind: so the loftier the life, the stronger the enemy's temptations.

In the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable we eventually learn that here, in this life, all symphonies remain unfinished.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

God does not help those who help themselves; He helps those who know they cant help themselves.

I bless the gods for not letting my education in rhetoric, poetry, and other literary studies come easily to me, and thereby sparing me from an absorbing interest in these subjects.
