“To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking, when nothing is forcing you to think about anything in particular.”
― Timothy Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God

“Though personal and unique for each person (“take up his cross”), the Way of the Cross means that our spiritual life does not consist solely of victories, miracles, and success stories.”
― Gene Edward Veith Jr., God at Work: Your Christian Vocation in All of Life

“Negative thoughts compound. The more you think of yourself as worthless, stupid, or ugly, the more you condition yourself to interpret life that way. You get trapped in a thought loop. The same is true for how you think about others. Once you fall into the habit of seeing people as angry, unjust, or selfish, you see those kind of people everywhere.”
― James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

“In the long run, pragmatism doesn’t work. Focusing on the GDP alone is bad for the GDP. It does not profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul, and there is an additional sting when he then loses the world too. Whatever you worship in place of God is another thing you lose. Whatever you surrender gladly to Him is returned to you, pressed down, shaken, and running over.”
― Douglas Wilson, Ploductivity: A Practical Theology of Work & Wealth
