St. Teresa of Avila described our life in this world as like a night in a second-class hotel.

Phenomenons only happen once in a lifetime.

Life isn't memorable enough to remember everything. It's not like there are explosions all the time, or dog smoking cigarettes.

The thing about death is it reminds you the story we are telling has finality.

Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.

Death is a solemn thing, and never so much so as when we see it close at hand. The grave is a chilling, heart-sickening place, and it is vain to pretend it has no terrors.

Surely none are so crazy as those who are content to live unprepared to die. Surely the unbelief of men is the most amazing thing in the world.

Possessions are mere transient effects that come when they are required, and after their purpose has been served, pass away.

Life is very precious to God. That's why He made it so fragile and so short." "That make absolutely no sense." "Yes, it does. He made it fragile so we would treasure it, just like He does. You're not nearly as careful with your cast-iron frying pans as you are with your good china, are you? God wanted life to be precious to us-so He made it as frail as fine china.

Yes, it does. He made it fragile so we would treasure it, just like He does. You're not nearly as careful with your cast-iron frying pans as you are with your good china, are you? God wanted life to be precious to us—so He made it as frail as fine china.

Things of this world all eventually reveal what incapable anchors they really are.

Most men think they are simply here on earth to kill time—and it's killing them.
