"Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
-Jim Elliot
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
-Jim Elliot
"If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence? You’d be bored to tears in heaven, if you’re not ecstatic about God now!"
-Keith Green
"When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther’s, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time— death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at his call.”
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A faith that costs nothing and demands nothing is worth nothing."
"A ship in a port is safe -- but that's not what ships are built for."
"Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."
"Those who love deeply will never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young."
-Arthur Wing Pinero
"My daughters are allowed to look pretty in public.... they are not allowed to look sexy. It's the difference between looking like a flower and looking like a sandwich. One just makes you want to look; the other makes you want to take a bite."

"Honesty is the policy which wears best."
-Robert E. Lee
I like your Dad's quote. I'll have to remember that one if I have daughters of my own someday. Haha.
