The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.

Never, ever allow yourself to feel. Feelings kill.

Taking photos is a form of collecting.

I believe that if you want to fight inequality you have to do it starting at infancy.

Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself.
