“A lie believed to be truth will be lived is if it is true”

“It's the basic truth of the human condition: everybody lies.”

“People say time changes things, but it’s not true. Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were.”

“Pain makes us make bad decisions. Fear or pain is almost as big of a motivator.”

“You got three choices in life: be good, get good or give up.”

“No truth is more pervasive in Scripture and Christian tradition than this one—that real freedom is found in obedience and servanthood. And yet no truth is more incongruent with modern culture. Here we stand before a stark either-or: the gospel message of true freedom versus the culture's ideal of self-creation, autonomy, and living "my way.”

“A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative,’ is asking you not to believe him. So don’t.”
