You do not hold convictions, convictions hold you.

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

There are more than 14,000 promises in the Bible – God has not broken one of them.

God loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love.

When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to one hundred.

Thank God when he says, “Yes.” Thank God when he says, “No.” Thank God when he says, “Wait.”

I am not in control, but I am deeply loved by The One who is.

Tragically, some people believe they are going to heaven when they die just because a few drops of water were sprinkled over their heads a few weeks after their birth. They have no personal faith, have never made a personal decision, and are banking on a hollow ceremony to save them. How absurd!!!

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.

The angel fetched Peter out of prison but it was the prayer that fetched the angel.”

He who plants kindness gathers love.

Kindness is the noblest weapon to conquer with.

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness.

Train up a fig tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.

There is only one way to bring up a child in the way he should go and that is to travel that way yourself.

The tasks connected with the home are the fundamental tasks of humanity.

Train your child in the way in which you know you should have gone yourself.

We take care of our possessions for our children. But of the children themselves we take no care at all. What an absurdity is this! Form the soul of thy son aright, and the rest will be added hereafter.

Prayer does not enable us to do a greater work for God. Prayer is a greater work for God.

Christ was in agony in prayer, Luke 22:44. Many when they pray are rather in lethargy, than in an agony. When they are about the world they are all fire; when they are at prayer, they are all ice.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.

He prayed for his enemies, and you do not even pray for your friends.

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome.

Commitment without reflection is fanaticism in action, though reflection without commitment is the paralysis of all action.

All things said and done, most often more is said than done!

He does much who loves much.

The door of God is humility. Our fathers, through the many insults which they suffered, entered the city of God.

We evaluate others with a godlike justice, but we want them to evaluate us with a godlike compassion.

We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.

Do not be angry that you cannot make others as you would wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
