O my God, how true it is that we may have of Thy gifts and yet may be full of ourselves!

It is only by a total death to self we can be lost in God.

He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.

Self-seeking is the gate by which a soul departs from peace; and total abandonment to the will of God, that by which it returns.

I have never found any who prayed so well as those who had never been taught how. They who have no master in man, have one in the Holy Spirit.

Oh, that we fully understood how very opposite our self-righteousness is to the designs of God!

God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.

All consolation that does not come from God is but desolation; when the soul has learned to receive no comfort but in God only, it has passed beyond the reach of desolation.

Let us play hide and seek in a mountain which is like a women's back.

An unrewarded value is more valuable than a reward with no value.

Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.

The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade.

I think when you have Baltimore, which in the first night was practically wiped out or brought back 30 years. Because the police were instructed to stand down. You can't let that happen.

Certain songs just feel a way that's hard to put into words and it's not happy and it's also not really sad but I couldn't say what it is

The most exciting rock 'n' roll band of the last 50 years who are still on the road today

There is no rank in sacrifice.

A lot of my reputation is a product of exaggeration and ignorance.

There are many kinds of delusion.
