“Whatever else in the Bible catches your eye, do not let it distract you from Him.”
“When you set your eyes at the mountain top, do not be distracted by the valleys.”
“Don't you dare take the lazy way. It's too easy to excuse yourself because of your ancestry. Don't let me catch you doing it! Now -- look close at me so you will remember. Whatever you do, it will be you who do.”
“Do whatever you have to do that’s right in front you. Let everything else go. That’s concentration.”
“No matter where you go or what you do to distract yourself, reality catches up with you eventually.”
“What on earth can you do on this earth but catch at whatever comes near you, with both your fingers, until your fingers are broken?”
