“The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.”

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist

“Some people are really impressed with their knowledge and accomplishments, and they want others to be aware of how much they know… But knowledge, even biblical knowledge, has a tendency to push us toward arrogance… We need to realize that knowledge is not a goal in itself. Greater knowledge should increase our capacity to honor and glorify God. It shouldnt be turned inward to leverage ourselves or to make us appear to be better than others.”
