The world can no longer be left to mere diplomats, politicians, and business leaders. They have done the best they could, no doubt. But this is an age for spiritual heroes—a time for men and women to be heroic in faith and in spiritual character and power. The greatest danger to the Christian church today is that of pitching its message too low.

And worry are worthless—indeed, vain—emotions. If you are frightened or afraid, there is no use feeling guilty about it. What you need to do is fix your mind upon God and ask him to fill your mind with himself. And as your mind is transformed, your whole personality will be transformed, including your body and your feelings. The transformation of the self away from a life of fear and insufficiency takes place as we fix our minds upon God as he truly is.

In people without rock-solid character, feeling is a deadly enemy of self-control and will always subvert it. The mongoose of a disciplined will under God and good is the only match for the cobra of feeling.

Through my education, I didn't just develop skills, I didn't just develop the ability to learn, but I developed confidence.

You have to get outside of your comfort zone if you're going to make significant changes in your life, and since few things scare people like the unknown, feeling fear is an excellent sign that you're on the right track.

I really believed that fear is contagious.

Have no fear of moving into the unknown.

"God made you a masterpiece — be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped."

Do what you fear and fear disappears.

You either run with lions or walk with sheep.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.
