Quotes about:

• Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children.

Even in such a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period!

  6 Copy quote

• You... were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around... Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wing and removing its ability to fly... A bird is not defined by being grounded but by his ability to fly. Remember this, humans are defined not by their limitations, but by the intentions I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image. Love is NOT the limitation; love is the flying. I AM love.

  William P. Young

  Mean, Love Is, Wings

  7 Copy quote

• I am what some would say 'holy, and wholly other than you.' The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive, which often isn't much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it falls pitifully short of who I really am. I'm not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.

  William P. Young

  Fall, Thinking, Who I Am
