Even to this day, grace remains hard to swallow. Religiosity and moralism go down easier than free forgiveness.

Grace cannot prevail...until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.

Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works.

We are not saved by what Jesus taught, and we are certainly not saved by what we understand Jesus to have taught. We are saved by Jesus Himself.

However much we hate the law, we are more afraid of grace

Heaven is populated entirely by forgiven sinners

We were given appetites, not to consume the world and forget it, but to taste its goodness and hunger to make it great.

A good time occurs precisely when we lose track of what time it is.

Salvation is a gift given, not a bargain struck.

The truth that makes us free is always ticking away like a time-bomb in the basement of everybody's church.

I like a cook who smiles out loud when he tastes his own work. Let God worry about your modesty; I want to see your enthusiasm.

Dorothy: Shut up, just shut up. You had me at "hello".- From Jerry Maguire, 1996

I am not compatible with life.

Maybe that's why people have friends at all. Not because they like them so much but because they don't make them feel so much worse.

I am afraid I shall not find Him but I shall still look for Him. If He exists He may be appreciative of my efforts.

I think there are certain crimes which the law cannot touch, and which therefore, to some extent, justify private revenge.

If Colleen Howe had been a hockey player, she would have been a centremen. I can see her as a centreman because you can do what you want and go wherever you want to go.

Physical infidelity is the signal, the notice given, that all fidelities are undermined.

The music takes you. It has to be alive. It's like you hammer something, and the way it happens to bleed leads you into new directions.

Don't wait to be a great man; be a great boy!

I've always loved Def Leppard, ever since I was little.
