“I followed Him for His wisdom. But served Him for His goodness.”

“A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word just as good.”

“Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”

“If ye loved him, he must ha' been a good man.''Yes, he...was.''Then I shall do my best to honor his spirit by serving his wife.”

“If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him.”

“I try to follow his example, not to imitate him.”
