"Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured." - Ann Landers

Hate

"Courage is contagious. When a brave person takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened." - Billy Graham

Courage

"The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual." - A. W. Tozer

Spirituality

"We must stir up the gift of God. Like sugar in the lemonade, it may be there but it needs to be set in motion." - Vance Havner

Spiritual Gifts

"The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!" - Watchman Nee

Abiding in Christ

"There is a lot of soft, sentimental talk about him today that brings no conviction. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he did not feel comfortable! Neither did Habakkuk nor Daniel nor Paul nor John. We want a picture of Him today that does not disturb us, that smiles at sin, and winks at iniquity. I remember a man who told me he wanted to hear no hell-fire sermons but rather about the meek and lowly Jesus. Yet the poor man did not seem to realize that the meek and lowly Jesus said more about hell than is reported from the lips of anyone else in the Bible! We need a true and complete vision of God in His holiness and Christ in His glory that will bring us to repentance." - Vance Havner

Repentance

"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the diffrence. If the Holy Spirit had been withdraw from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference." - A. W. Tozer

Holy Spirit

"I believe in the security of the believers, but I also believe in the insecurity of make-believers." - J. Vernon McGee 

Eternal Security

"A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God." - Leonard Ravenhill

Knowledge

"A person who does not walk intimately with Christ cannot expect God's blessing, leadership, or protection. How arrogant it is for us to believe that we can be and do anything empowered by the Spirit, unless we develop intimacy with Jesus." - Tom Elliff

Intimacy

"I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my power and domination." - Alexander the Great

"The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces." - Thomas Aquinas

"It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between the alternatives they have not chosen themselves." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." - Vince Lombardi

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." - Colin Powell

Excellence

"Sometimes I think the whole Christian world is made up of just two groups: those who speak their faith and accomplish significant things for God, and those who criticize and malign the first group." - Don Basham, "On the Tip of My Tongue," New Wine (June 1986). Christianity Today, Vol. 30, No. 12.
