“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”
— Charles R. Swindoll
“The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.”
“Think first. Talk less. Start today.”
“Real integrity stays in place whether the test in adversity or prosperity.”
“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.”
“Leaders need to cultivate two things: a righteous heart and a rhinoceros skin.”
“Anything under God’s control is never out of control.”
“Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!”
“Vision is the ability to see God’s presence, to perceive God’s power, to focus on God’s plan in spite of the obstacles.”
“We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.”
“On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don’t quit, whatever you do. Persevere.”
“Choose to view life through God’s eyes.”
“The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds, the more beautiful the tree.”
“We are often so caught up in our activities that we tend to worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship.”

“God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.”
“Patience is a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit.”
“The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.”
“One of the marks of maturity is the ability to disagree without becoming disagreeable.”
“Excellence-moral, ethical, personal excellence-is worth whatever it costs.”
“Prejudice is a learned trait. You’re not born prejudiced; you’re taught it.”
“God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.”
“Worry erases the promises of God from your mind.”
“First impressions never have a second chance.”
“Friends make life a lot more fun.”
“When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.”
“The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God’s keeping.”
“My order of priorities reflects the level of my commitment to Christ. Whoever or whatever is in first place, if it isn’t the Lord Jesus, is in the wrong place.”
“Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.”
“It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day – not I.”
“Alleged ‘impossibilities’ are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.”
“It is in lonely solitude that God delivers His best thoughts, and the mind needs to be still and quiet to receive them.”
“Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful He created laughter.”
“Don’t expect wisdom to come into your life like great chunks of rock on a conveyor belt. Wisdom comes privately from God as a byproduct of right decisions, godly reactions, and the application of spiritual principles to daily circumstances.”
“Times may be hard and people may be demanding, but never forget that life is special. Every single day is a special day. God is at work in you!”
“God’s timing is always on time.”
“We are in charge of our attitudes.”
“Nothing speaks louder or more powerfully than a life of integrity.”
“Lead with action and let the feelings follow.”
“Some folks serve the almighty dollar far more faithfully than the Almighty God. They get greater delight out of balancing the budget than watching the Lord multiply the loaves and fishes.”

“Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.”
“When God’s in it, the job gets done.”
“Humility – the discipline of putting others ahead of self, the choice to value others above self – is, at its core, a matter of faith.”
“Another problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.”
“I know of no realm of life that can provide more companionship in a lonely world or greater feelings of security and purpose in chaotic times than the close ties of a family.”
“Hope is like an anchor. Our hope in Christ stabilizes us in the storms of life, but unlike an anchor, it does not hold us back.”
“Pride leaves no room for grace.”
“No one is immune to temptation. Not even a hero. Not even a nobody. Not even people like you and me. Lust is never very far away. And just when you least expect it, there it is again.”
“Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.”
“Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day, week, or life.”
“Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.”
“There are times we need to tell ourselves, “Good job!” when we know that is true.”
“This tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness.”
“And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star.”
“A story without context is like a diamond without a mounting. The stone may be beautiful lying loose on a table, but when it is carefully mounted in the right setting it can dazzle you with its brilliance and sparkling beauty.”
“Two words will help you cope when you run low on hope: accept and trust.”
“You see, when we talk about perfect trust, we’re talking about what gives us roots, character, the stability to handle the hard times. Trusting God doesn’t alter our circumstances. Perfect trust in Him changes us.”

“Like sin itself, Satan appeals to the senses. He originated and perfected the art of disguising evil as good.”
“The best tests of my Christian growth occur in the mainstream of life, not in the quietness of my study.”
“To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.”
“You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.”
“GRACE: All you can do is take it.”
“Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.”
“If our perfect Lord is gracious enough to take our worst, and ugliest, our most boring, our least successful, and forgive them, burying them in the depths of the sea, then it’s high time we give each other a break.”
“I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.”
“Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.”
“People who soar, are those who refuse to sit back and wish things would change.”
“To be used of God. Is there anything more encouraging, more fulfilling? Perhaps not, but there is something more basic: to meet with God.”
“Do you need strength? Peace? Wisdom? Direction? Discipline? Ask for it! God will hear you.”
“There can be no more reliable authority on earth than God’s Word, the Bible. This timeless, trustworthy source of truth holds the key that unlocks life’s mysteries. It alone provides us with the shelter we need in times of storm.”
“I’m here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.”
“The world has changed and it’s going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.”

“Don’t be afraid of outgiving God. It is impossible to do that.”
“Man is the only animal that when you pat him on the head, his head swells up.”
“Walk by faith! Stop the plague of worry. Relax! Learn to say, “Lord, this is Your battle.””

“Oh, how horrible our sins look when they are committed by someone else.”
“Joy springs from a life lived with eternity’s values in view.”
“How important is the heart! It is there that character is formed. It alone holds the secrets of true success. It’s treasures are priceless – but they can be stolen.”

“If God’s people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be – it must be – compassion.”
“One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you’re not.”
“When you are giving people the gospel, you are giving them something to believe, and you have to set the stage for that. You don’t just drive up and dump the truck and drive off.”
“It is a pity that many Christians have the TV schedule better memorized than a single chapter for God’s precious Word.”
“When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.”

“Sometimes I wake up before dawn, and I love sitting up in the middle of the bed with all the lights off, pitch-black dark, and talking to the Father, with no interruptions and nothing that reminds me that there’s anything in life but me and Him.”

“I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.”
“It’s not our church; it’s God’s – it’s not our responsibility to run it!”
