The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

“In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.”

“I live because I am a Warrior and because I wish one day to be in the company of [She] for whom I have fought so hard”

“Fear, lest, by forgetting what you are by nature, you also forget the need that you have of continual pardon, support, and supplies from the Spirit of grace, and so grow proud of your own abilities, or of what you have received from God.”

“What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation.”

“For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.”

“Then said he, ’I am going to my Father’s; and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who now will be my rewarder.’.... So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”

“It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.”

“The road of denial leads to the precipice of destruction”

“It is always hard to see the purpose in wilderness wanderings until after they are over.

“I seek a place that can never be destroyed, one that is pure, and that fadeth not away, and it is laid up in heaven, and safe there, to be given, at the time appointed, to them that seek it with all their heart. Read it so, if you will, in my book.”

“Nothing can hurt you except sin; nothing can grieve me except sin; nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.”

“Just as Christian came up to the Cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, fell from off his back, and began to tumble down the hill, and so it continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre. There it fell in, and I saw it no more!”

“Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.”

“The man that takes up religion for the world will throw away religion for the world.”

“Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think... It is wounding work, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving... Where there is grafting there will always be a cutting, the graft must be let in with a wound; to stick it onto the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back or there will be no sap from root to branch. And this, I say, must be done by a wound, by a cut.”

“Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.”

“I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?”

“I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids rather than disobey God.”

“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us…”

“Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.”

“It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.”
