Just for fun, here are some of my favorite quotes...
“Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.” –Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
“To be nobody but yourself—in a world which is going its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.” –E.E. Cummings
“People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for.” –Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
“It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare.” –Mark Twain
“Whatever you say, say it with conviction” –Mark Twain
"Actions speak louder than words, but not nearly as often." –Mark Twain
“Courage is found in unlikely places.” –J.R.R. Tolkien
“Not all those who wander are lost.” –J.R.R. Tolkien
“Without God there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscience… Without God democracy will not and cannot long endure.” –Ronald Reagan
“The greatness of God rouses fear within us, but His goodness encourages us not to be afraid of Him. To fear and not be afraid—that is the paradox of faith.” -A.W. Tozer
"It is one of the severest test of friendship to tell your friend of his fault. If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, this is friendship. But few have such friends. Our enemies usually teach us what we are, at the point of the sword. " -Henry Ward Beecher
"I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining. I believe in love, even when I don't feel it. I believe in God, even when He is silent." -Written on a wall inside a Nazi concentration camp
"...The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out that they couldn't stop him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him! That's my King!" –From 'My King' by Dr. S.M. Lockridge
“[The Devil's] cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending to do [God's] will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys." –C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
"All that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy." –C.S. Lewis
"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." –C.S. Lewis
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
"God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way" –Leighton Ford
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou
"Christianity does not remove you from the world and its problems; it makes you fit to live in it, triumphantly and usefully" -Charles Templeton
"It is easy to die for Christ. It is hard to live for Him. Dying takes only an hour or two, but to live for Christ means to die daily. Only during the few years of this life are we given the privilege of serving each other and Christ...We shall heaven forever, but only a short time for service here, and therefore we must not waste the opportunity." -Sadhu Sundar Singh
