My Favorite Quotes
On Sunday I shared some of my favorite quotes. Here they are.
“Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry because I never undertake more work than I can go through with a calmness of spirit” – John Wesley
“Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men and women. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.” – Phillip Brooks
“Our greatest fear as individuals and as a church should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” – Tim Kizziar
“The happiest people in the world are not those who have no suffering, but those who are not afraid of suffering.” – Ajith Fernando
“People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” – Samuel Johnson
“God uses people who are weak and feeble enough to lean on Him.” – Missionary Hudson Taylor
“You can offer your ideas to others as bullets or seeds. You can shoot them, or sow them; hit people in the head with them, or plant them in their hearts. Ideas used as bullets will kill inspiration and neutralize motivation. Used as seeds, they take root, grow, and become reality in the life in which they are planted. The only risk in the seed approach: Once it grows and becomes part of those in whom it’s planted, you probably will get no credit for originating the idea. But if you’re willing to do without the credit…you’ll reap a rich harvest.” — Richard Halverson Chaplain to the U.S. Senate
