Some that I like are...





At times God comes into the soul without being called; and He instills into her fire, love, and sometimes sweetness; and the soul believes this coming from God, and delights there in. But she does not yet know or see that He dwells in her; she perceives His grace, in which she delights�Beyond this the soul receives the gift of seeing God. God says to her, �Behold Me!� and the soul sees Him dwelling within her. She sees Him more clearly than one man sees another. For the eyes of the soul behold a plenitude of which I cannot speak, a plenitude which is not bodily, but spiritual, of which I can say nothing.�

--Angela of Foligno (1248-1309), Italian mystic, Ibid., p. 282



One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.

Never doubt in darkness what God has given us in the light.

--Francine Rivers



Learn to move man, through God, by prayer.

--HudsonTaylor



Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

--John Acton



I think God is looking for tree climbers. God is looking for people who are desperate enough to do whatever it takes to get to God.

--Mark Batter



Celebrate the storm that dashed your battered life on the shores of His unyielding love and let Him give you the strength to stand firm.

Today God loves the world so much that he gives you, he gives me, to love the world.

--Mother Teresa



Just as it is impossible to separate one�s image from a mirror and touch it at the same time, it is still more difficult to succeed in committing to writing these heavenly secrets.

--Padre Pio



There is one universal religion, the religion of love. Love your Heavenly Father with your whole heart and soul, love every child of God as much as you ever can, and remember that the possibilities of good are greater than the possibilities of evil; and you have the key to Heaven.

--Phillips Brooks



The safest path is the path of duty.

--Rosalind Goforth

"If you want to increase in the life of God, then you must settle it in your heart that you will not at any time resist the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost and fire - the fire burning up everything that would impoverish and destroy you." - Smith Wigglesworth

"Spiritual temptation is very subtle and deceptive because what we are tempted to do can appear on the surface to be right, and all for God, but God's will must be done in God's way and in God's time." - Lynette Woods

Funny quotes:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

- Albert Einstein

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." �George W. Bush
