They Said It

I love collecting quotes, don't you? The only problem is I usually write witty quotes I'd like to remember down on scrap pieces of paper. Pointless habit, don't you think? Since I love sharing things with you & because this is a place where I store my thoughts, I hope you enjoy reading everything that "they" said.

Anonymous & Unknown
These guys are famous for saying things we quote all the time! Honestly, if you can help me attribute one of these quotes to the correct author/text, shoot me a comment below!

David killed a lion & a bear, yet his greatest show of courage is when he asked God to look at his heart & change him (reference to Psalm 139:23-24).

Coincedence are litte miracles where God chooses to remain anonymous.

Anne Bradstreet
. . . yea oft have I thought were I in hell itself & could there find the love of God toward me, it would be a heaven. And could I have been in heaven without the love of God, it would have been a hell to me, for in truth, it is the absense & presence of God that makes heaven or hell.
To All My Dear Children, 1687

Francis Chan
If we were perfect, we would need no salvation. But precisely because we are imperfect, sinful, weak human beings, God intervenes in His infinite grace & grants us the unbelievable priviledge of pursuing Him with every ounce of our being.
Living Crazy Love (59)

Farrellisms
Dr. Tom Farrell is a well-known evangelist, at least in my circles. Dr. Farrell is both my church's staff evangelist & one of my favorite speaker. Expect to find many life-altering, God-focused quotes here.

Your attitude is your CHOICE.

If the only time you are happy is when things are going your way, prepared to be disappointed most of your life. Trials are reality.

Every day you are either moving closer to God or further away. There is no neutral position.

T. E. Lawrence
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph

Lynnaeisms
That's right, every once in a while God allows something novel & soul-shaking to emit itself from my lips (or keyboard). Don't worry, I know where this unnatural, God-given wisdom really comes from.

Guard your heart: it's your greatest treasure.
Enjoy life: you only live once.
Rest in peace: God is in control.

True love waits, however long it takes.

Overcome worry with WORRY.
Wait on the Lord.
Omit insecurities.
Rely on the Lord..
Rejoice in the Lord (always).
Yearn to be more like Him.

Henry David Thoreau

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be in lost; that is where they should be, now put foundations under them.
