More quotes by Donald Miller
I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.
Donald Miller
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

Donald Miller
It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.

Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.
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
