“It is a constant battle to resist the temptation to have more luxuries, to acquire more stuff, and to live more comfortably.”

“We will not wish we had made more money, acquired more stuff, lived more comfortably, taken more vacations, watched more television, pursued greater retirement, or been more successful in the eyes of this world. Instead, we will wish we had given more of ourselves to living for the day when every nation, tribe, people, and language will bow around the throne and sing the praises of the Savior who delights in radical obedience and the God who deserves eternal worship.”

“It was as if I were powerless to resist the temptation; my senses were overcome. I could hear the emptiness, and taste the silence, and smell the solitude, and I wanted it more than I have ever wanted anything before.”

“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.”

“The More I resist the more I need to change.ins”

“As we acquire knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.”
