"When we abuse freedom, we negate love... 'Rather serve one another humbly in love, for the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: love your neighbor as yourself'."

"How do you grow a forest? One seed at a time. How do you grow a life? One tiny unglamorous decision at a time... You are becoming who you will be forever. Character is destiny."

"Happiness has become about feeling good, not being good. The 'good life' has become about getting what we want, not becoming the kind of people who want truly good things. The self, not God or Scripture, is the new locus of authority in Western culture... in such a culture, the self exists to be explored, indulged, and expressed, but not disciplined or restrained."

"Happiness comes as the result of disciplined desire. In every area of life, from sex to diet to money, happiness or 'the good life' is what happens after you discipline your desires."
