Who belongs to the Church? Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy. - Robert Maccoll Adams

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

To love what you do and feel that it matters- how could anything be more fun?

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

All things are difficult before they're easy.
