Quotes about:

• Because dating is a human exercise, it can be a tightrope fraught with danger. You will be dating imperfect people, and some of them are more imperfect than others. In addition, you are not perfect either, so that complicates the picture.

  13 Copy quote

• If your boundary training consists only of words, you are wasting your breath. But if you 'do' boundaries with your kids, they internalize the experiences, remember them, digest them, and make them part of how they see reality.

  10 Copy quote

• That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the "who" you are as much as the "what" of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.

  Henry Cloud

  Character, Giving, Return

  12 Copy quote

• Dating is a give and take. If you only see it as "Taking," you are not getting it.

  8 Copy quote

• It’s scary to realize that the only thing holding our friends to us isn’t our performance, or our lovability, or their guilt, or their obligation. The only thing that will keep them calling, spending time with us, and putting up with us is love. And that’s the one thing we can’t control.

  Henry Cloud

  4 Copy quote

• Oftentimes, churches are started by an entrepreneurial church plant visionary whom everybody follows, but he's not following anybody. Even though he's "accountable to a board," he's really not. Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.

• The idea of submission is never meant to allow someone to overstep another's boundaries. Submission only has meaning in the context of boundaries, for boundaries promote self-control and freedom. If a wife is not free and in control of herself, she is not submitting anyway. She is a slave subject to a slave driver, and she is out of the will of God.

  Henry Cloud

  Self, Ideas, Wife

  Henry Cloud, John Townsend (2002). “Boundaries in Marriage”, p.248, Zondervan

  Dating, Should, More To Life

  Henry Cloud

  Independence, Remember, God Exists

  12 Copy quote
