“There is a difference between belief and conviction. A belief can become something that you merely hold; a conviction is that which holds you.”
― Ravi Zacharias, Seeing Jesus from the East: A Fresh Look at History’s Most Influential Figure

“I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
― Peter Jackson

“Some people marvel at how it’s possible to love someone without focusing on their flaws. From a human perspective, love says, I want us to be together despite your mess because I’m not perfect either—we can help each other grow. But God’s love says, I am already perfect. Come to Me. Abide in Me. Stay with Me. Learn from Me. Dance with Me. Let Me pour My unconditional love over you. I will teach you how to love.”
― Tope Omotosho, Don't Stop Loving Me

“It is a hard thing for a rich man to grow poor; but it is an awful thing for him to grow dishonest, and some kinds of speculation lead a man deep into dishonesty before he thinks what he is about. Poverty will not make a man worthless—he may be of worth a great deal more when he is poor than he was when he was rich; but dishonesty goes very far indeed to make a man of no value—a thing to be thrown out in the dust-hole of the creation, like a bit of broken basin, or dirty rag.”
― George MacDonald, At the Back of the North Wind
