How terribly hard and almost impossible it is to tell the truth. More than anything else, the artist in us prevents us from telling aught as it really happened. We deal with the truth as the cook deals with meat and vegetables.

Eric Hoffer

A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.

The gospel has done its work in us when we crave God more than we crave everything else in life - more than money, romance, family, health, fame - and when seeing His kingdom advance in the lives of others gives us more joy than anything we could own.

J. D. Greear

John Piper

Golf is a game, and talk and discussion is all to the interests of the game. Anything that keeps the game alive and prevents us being bored with it is an advantage. Anything that makes us think about it, talk about it, and dream about it is all to the good and prevents the game becoming dead.

Alister MacKenzie

I go on living, more from force of habit than anything else.

Robert M. Pirsig

The wonderful living Word of God is more precious than anything else that we have.

Louie Giglio

I think what Americans need and what Mainers need more than anything is government that functions and I think that the filibuster prevents us from functioning and making progress on issues.

Sara Gideon

I think it takes a larger nature to receive nobly than to give nobly.

How can one ever do anything nobly Christian, living among people with such petty thoughts?
