More quotes by Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.
Donald Miller
By accepting God's love for us, we fall in love with Him, and only then do we have the fuel we need to obey.
Donald Miller
Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.
Donald Miller
I listened so hard because it felt like, while she was telling me stories, she was massaging my soul, letting me know that I was not alone, that I will never have to be alone, that there are friends and family and churches and coffee shops. I was not going to be cast into space.
Donald Miller
There's a genius part of you that wants to create. That part of you wants to talk to God. Get out of the way.
Donald Miller
Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.
Donald Miller
How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?
Donald Miller
I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.
Donald Miller
I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.
Donald Miller
All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.
Donald Miller
The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.
Donald Miller
The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.
Donald Miller
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
Somehow I had come to believe that because a person is in need, they are candidates for sympathy, not just charity. It was not that I wanted to buy her groceries, the government was already doing that. I wanted to buy her dignity. And yet, by judging her, I was the one taking her dignity away.
Donald Miller
There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.
Donald Miller
I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use. I need that much downtime.
Donald Miller
I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.
