"Any coward can be a peacekeeper! In fact, that comes to one naturally. But they are blessed, the peacemakers...and all those who know the difference."

"Self-righteousness is much like a spiritual egocentricity. It constitutes a secular type of love that thrives under conditionality, one in which is only existent after an individual meets the adopted standards of the condemner; oppositely, unconditional love is a holy love."

"I do not believe it possible for one to genuinely love Truth more than people (or vice versa). One might fall into the snare of loving the search more than people, or the pride of having exposed something or someone, but not the truth itself. For if you love Truth you love people; because to love people at all and without illusion, you must also love the truth about them."

"To esteem what makes you holy over what makes you happy - that is the greatest dare."

"Women show men beauty in things beyond their ambitions. Women tell men to stop and smell the roses."

"During the flames of controversy, opinions, mass disputes, conflict, and world news, sometimes the most precious, refreshing, peaceful words to hear amidst all the chaos are simply and humbly 'I don't know."

"If you're not a smart worker, it's about how hard you work double the amount from the heart; if you're not a hard worker, it's about how smart you work but times two from the brain."

"Some concepts are so incredibly risky they take an honest fool to try to articulate them."

"Constantly stopping to explain oneself may expand into a frustrating burden for the rare individual, so ceasing to do so is like finally dropping the weights and sprinting towards his goals. Those who insincerely misunderstand, who intentionally distort the motives of a pure-intentioned individual, then, no longer have the opportunity to block his path; instead, they are the ones left to stand on the sidelines shouting frustratedly in the wind of his trail."

"What is a genius? A person who demands little to nothing from others, but is often found extremely difficult to have around."

"If love is blind, then maybe a blind person that loves has a greater understanding of it."

"Do not tell someone you are hungry if, whenever they feed you, you do not eat."

"If the entire world sought to make itself worthy of happiness rather than make itself happy, then the entire world would be happy."

"Love without humility results in the inclination to act as everyone's parent, humility without love results in the need to be everyone's child, and love with humility results in the desire to be a friend."

"I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious."

"I think a lot of psychopaths are just geniuses who drove so fast that they lost control."

"There are 2 kinds of fighters: those who fight because they hate, and those who fight because they love."

"The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe, the theist believes a 'who' created the universe."

"Any fool can do something cool and look cool, but it takes skill to make something uncool cool again."

"Those who speak of progression but are afraid of change are self-repressed and therefore unable to reach any further than their eyes can already see."

"The complete recipe for imagination is absolute boredom."

"God will save whomever He chooses to save. The Christian should proselytize not because he thinks he can change everybody, he should proselytize because the Gospel being shared is the ultimate act of love: because he thinks he can love everybody."

"If I were to vote, I would intentionally vote for the goofiest candidate. It is my theory that when the people can outwit the leader, the more respected their voices will be."

"That most pleasant weather to feel is the one never felt."

"I pity the man who praises God only when things go his way."

"With a philosophy education, one can infuriate his peers, intimidate his date, think of obscure, unreliable ways to make money, and never regret a thing."

"Let our information and social technologies raise awareness and not propaganda, build connections and not passive-aggression."

"I am not convinced within myself that to its core and as a whole, humanity has, as some like to assume, progressed a great deal over the millennia. Human technology? Of course. Human beings? Hardly."

"It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self."

"To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'."

"It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right."

"It's simple, it's not that simple; or life is simple, but the things in it are not. When a man does not understand it, he tends to inflate it. When he does, he tends to deflate it. In the end, neither images are fully accurate."

"To be respected is not my concern. So long as I seek to live in obedience to my Lord, respect will come accordingly from the people He deems it necessary."

"Pseudo-artists think that being an artist means opposing whatever seems to be an establishment. That is not creative at all. True creativity is the ability to gain perspective wherever you may have missed it before."

"To be a philosopher, just reverse everything you have ever been told...and have a sense of humor doing it."

"Growing up I sometimes imagined that for Christ's return perhaps He would appear as 'Black Jesus' to white people and 'White Jesus' to black people just to screw with the racists."

"Their doubt is your fuel for dreams. You just have to drive."

"We must not allow our pride to be the motivation behind our apologetics; rather, philoverity, the love of truth must be the full and complete motivation. For pride corrupts truth."

"Because there are hundreds of different ways to say one thing, I, being a writer, songwriter, and poet, speak childishly and incoherently. In speech there is so much to decide in so little time."

"To merely blank the page and vaguely assume that 'religion' is the cause of all the world's problems is, on the contrary, an allegation brought about by nothing more than cognitive lethargy; it is when unburied, unpacked, and exposed but a stale conclusion and a misdirection for the one overwhelmed by centuries of sound theology, scholarly thought, and spiritual development."

"Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live."

"To believe in the truth of Christ is to be introduced to another form of hatred, and that is not sharing Him."

"An anomaly has his own ambitions. You can try reasoning with him, but that's like using money to bribe a beast."

"Your love is as stable as you are: It's not about how good a person makes you feel, but rather what good you can do for them."

"The actual confident man, the man truly sure of himself, is not he who esteems himself higher than others, but he who is sure enough that he can bear to esteem others higher than himself."

"Good friends will allow you to be as innocent and free as a child when in private, and as wise and mature as an adult when in public."

"If I do not love my fellow man, I can be sure of it that I do not love Jesus Christ. And I would do well if guilty of loving Jesus Christ even more than I love my fellow man, because only by this may I fully come to love my fellow man."

"After awhile you realize that putting your actions where your mouth is makes you less likely to have to put your money where your mouth is."

"Peace ought not be regarded the height of civilization, else like barbarians we forever battle for peace."

"Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell."
