If you talked to your friends the way you talk to yourself, you'd have no friends left

Don't dump on yourself.

Whose boots are you trying to fill?

Just be yourself.

What are you chasing after?

When you tell God you’ll do something, do it—now.

God takes no pleasure in foolish gabble. Vow it, then do it.
Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pay up.

Have faith

I have an abiding faith that this blow is only a disguised blessing.

Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.

No one understands pain like someone who has walked through it.
