“Everything you declare with your lips will be tested in your life.”

“Yeah, about the test...The test will measure whether you are an informed, engaged, and productive citizen of the world, and it will take place in schools and bars and hospitals and dorm rooms and in places of worship. You will be tested on first dates, in job interviews, while watching football, and while scrolling through your Twitter feed. The test will judge your ability to think about things other than celebrity marriages, whether you’ll be easily persuaded by empty political rhetoric, and whether you’ll be able to place your life and your community in a broader context. The test will last your entire life, and it will be comprised of the millions of decisions that, when taken together, will make your life yours. And everything, everything, will be on it....I know, right?”

“This is a test to see if your mission in this life is complete, if you are alive, it isn't.”

“It’s vitally important that you buy your own crown and declare yourself Queen, and then spend the rest of your life living into that.”

“In what you say of another, apply the test of kindness, necessity and truth, and let nothing pass your lips without a 2/3 majority.”

“You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.”
