Success is not what I've done compared with what others have done. Success is what I've done compared with what God has called me to do.

A bee does not need to follow you to give you honey: you follow it. Become a person of value and you too won't have to beg anyone to follow you.

Making your mark in the world is better than making trouble.

Life is a stage: perform your masterpiece.

Brilliance is the masterpiece of your mind. Excellence is the masterpiece of your heart. Genius is the masterpiece of your soul.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.

We are all special cases.

The one object God had in making you a branch is that Christ may through you bring life to men. Your personal salvation, your business and care for your family, are entirely subordinate to this. Your first aim in life, your first aim every day, should be to know how Christ desires to carry out His purpose in you.

It is the one who does what God commands to whom God can entrust His work, whom God can use to be a type of savior to others.

He would have us not only remember our union to Christ, but specially that it is not our own doing, but the work of God Himself. As the Holy Spirit teaches us to realize this, we shall see what a source of assurance and strength it must become to us. If it is of God alone that I am in Christ, then God Himself, the Infinite One, becomes my security for all I can need or wish in seeking to abide in Christ.

Let us each find our what our work is and which souls are entrusted to our special prayers.
