It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.

John Stott

No Compromise is what the whole Gospel of Jesus is all about... 'For I tell you...no man can serve two masters...' (Matt. 6:24). In a day when believers seem to be trying to please both the world and the Lord (which is an impossible thing), when people are far more concerned about offending their friends than offending God, there is only one answer...Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him!

Keith Green

If Christianity is really true it will be offending and correcting you somewhere.

Timothy Keller

It takes strong ears indeed to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship. For it is a healthy love that will risk wounding or offending in order to profer a benefit.

Michel de Montaigne

If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.

Natalie Portman

Once a king ... it was impossible, without risk of life, to sink to a private station.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

It's impossible to have vision in art or government without risk, or the boldness and courage which produce risk. And this - in spite of what they call modern Republicanism - is the antithesis of true Republican thinking.

Marya Mannes

One can thus state, without fear of being wrong, that every truly artistic production has been conceived and executed according to the principle of irregularity.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

I think if you're not offending somebody somewhere, then your show is probably just very bland and boring.

Mike Scully

I'll take on somebody if they're offending the entire culture, not just offending me.

Sandra Bernhard

Muscles without strength, friendship without trust, opinion without risk, change without aesthetics, age without values, food without nourishment, power without fairness, facts without rigor, degrees without erudition, militarism without fortitude, progress without civilization, complication without depth, fluency without content; these are the sins to remember.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

As smart technologies become more intrusive, they risk undermining our autonomy by suppressing behaviors that someone somewhere has deemed undesirable.
