More quotes by Donald Miller
We shouldn’t be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life could be magical it could be special if we were only willing to take a few risks.
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
God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.
Donald Miller
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.

Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
Donald Miller

Donald Miller
She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.
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
I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it's enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
Donald Miller
I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.
Donald Miller
Great writers know what to cut out. It's the same in life. Clear ambitions. Clear relationships. This is the stuff of good story.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
Donald Miller
The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It's not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom.
Donald Miller
It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.
Donald Miller
It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.
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
There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.
