“The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.”

“What we spend, we lose. What we keep will be left for others. What we give away will be ours forever.”

“We can what if ourselves to death, but it won't do anything. The only thing we can do is keep moving even when it feels like you're walking through a pit of cement.”

“We can only be what we give ourselves the power to be.”

“The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ. But it is far easier than what we are all trying to do instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain what we call "ourselves," to keep personal happiness as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time be "good.”

“We do not choose what happens to us. We can only choose what we do after. What we do now. We can only choose to keep going.”
