“If a man is known by the company he keeps, so also his character is reflected in the books he reads.”
J. Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer

“True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.”
J.Oswald Sanders

“We should always aim to read something different=not only the writers with whom we agree, but those with whom we are ready to do battle. Their point of view challenges us to examine the truth and to test their views...and let us not comment on nor criticize writers of whom we have heard only second-hand, or third-hand without troubling to read their works for ourselves...Don't be afraid of new ideas.”
J. Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership
