“This lesson is, I suppose, a major reason I wrote this book: because along the way I’ve picked up the wisdom that bad things happen, and yet the sun still comes up the next day, and it’s up to you to carry on living your life and keeping your setbacks in perspective.

― Steve Daugherty, Experiments in Honesty: Meditations on Love, Fear and the Honest to God Naked Truth

“Desperation yields dependency, and dependency yields power. And as you decrease your earthly abilities through sacrifice and embracing less, you’ll see your spiritual fruit increase.”
― Will Davis Jr., Enough: Finding More by Living with Less

“You can’t make a difference without making waves, and some people in the boat won’t like it. So be it. Rock the boat anyway.”
