“And no relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater.”

“It doesn't work to compromise in a relationship because a person can’t give up something that they value (and thus give up what really matters to them) without experiencing pain that eventually causes disharmony in the relationship.”

“Christ never asks us to give up merely for the sake of giving up, but always in order to win something better.”

“Never give up on something you really want. However impossible things seem, there's always a way.”

“A relationship isn't something that has to be created in a day or perfected in a day. Part of the game is to keep working on it. It's something that'll always be just a little flawed.”

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

“If you need something from somebody always give that person a way to hand it to you.”

“Maturity is knowing that you need to give up things today for greater gains tomorrow.”

“Playing catch-up with the competition can only ever help you make incremental gains. It will never help you create something new.”

“I don't believe God would give you something that you wouldn't be able to use for his glory," Carrol said. I don't believe you have to compromise who you are as a person in order to do what God has called you to do.”
