“God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.”

“What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.”

“For God does not need a picture, nor any physical attributes that you may imagine inside your limited mind.”

“If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.”

“Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.”

“Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”

“With God on your side, what does luck matter?”

“Show me why your regulation of culture is needed. Show me how it does good. And until you can show me both, keep your lawyers away.”

“Sometimes the fruit of your steps of faith is measured not so much by what God does through you as by what God does in you.”

“God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances, but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds.”
