You cannot be anything you want to be. But you can be everything God wants you to be.

Cure for the Common Life : Living In Your Sweet Spot (2005)

Once there was an old man who lived in a tiny village. Although poor, he was envied by all, for he owned a beautiful white horse. Even the king coveted his treasure. A horse like this had never been seen before — such was its splendor, its majesty, its strength.

In the Eye of the Storm (1991)

Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

All I know is that the stable is empty, and the horse is gone. The rest I don’t know. Whether it be a curse or a blessing, I can’t say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next?

In the Eye of the Storm (1991)

Were it not for the shepherds, there would have been no reception. And were it not for a group of stargazers, there would have been no gifts.
