• The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself. Check yourself against this list of obstacles to a pleasing personality: interrupting others; sarcasm; vanity; being a poor listener; insincere flattery; finding fault; challenging others without good cause; giving unsolicited advice; complaining; attitude of superiority; envy of others' success; poor posture and dress.

• There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the obstacles get, the tougher your spine grows; and the tougher your spine grows, the less dependent you are on man's approval. I came to know this about Christianity when valuing faith before comfort.

• 

  I refuse to believe today will be just another day in my life.
  All that I am.
  All that I will become will be written through my thoughts and my actions.
  I've conditioned my mind.
  Trained my body.
  Sacrificed my soul.
  There will be obstacles.
  Doubters.
  Mistakes.
  But nothing comes to those who wait.
  Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.

• The principal hindrance to the advancement of the kingdom of God is greed. It is the chief obstacle to heaven-sent revival. It seems that when the back of greed is broken, the human spirit soars into regions of unselfishness. I believe that it is safe to say there can be no continuous revival without 'hilarious' giving. And I fear no contradiction: wherever there is 'hilarious' giving there will soon be revival!

• That the machine of Heaven is not a hard and impervious body full of various real spheres, as up to now has been believed by most people.
