“Fashion is what others give you, style is what you give yourself”
“Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and... the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.”
“We can glimpse it in the book of Acts: the method of the kingdom will match the message of the kingdom. The kingdomâ€¦goes out into the world vulnerable, suffering, praising, praying, misunderstood, misjudged, vindicated, celebrating: always â€“ as Paul puts it in one of his letters â€“ bearing in the body the dying of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be displayed.”

A person has to fight the meanness that sometimes comes with you when you're born, sometimes grows if you aren't in lucky surroundings. It's our challenge to fend it off, leave it behind us choking and gasping for breath in the mud.

“The poorest man in the world is a man without a dream.”

“Life is pitiful, death so familiar, suffering and pain so common, yet I would not be anywhere else.

These are my people, God has given them to me, and I will live or die with for Him and His glory.”
“One person caring about another represents life's greatest value.”
