Kindle Notes & Highlights
The most inspirational man I knew only reached his potential by helping a child reach his.
“faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.”
“When you come to the end, that’s where God begins.”
It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.”
“My friends, if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have.’ We can sleep in a storm. “And when it’s time, our good-byes will be complete.”
Having more does not keep you from wanting more. And if you always want more—to be richer, more beautiful, more well known—you are missing the bigger picture, and I can tell you from experience, happiness will never come.”
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you’d do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.
