More quotes by Donald Miller
I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.
Donald Miller
I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.
Donald Miller
Let's show up to life. Let's prove how beautiful it can really be. Let's face the conflict, redeem it, conquer it, and allow it to mold our character. Let's participate in what God is doing in the world.
Donald Miller
The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
Donald Miller
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.
Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.
Donald Miller
I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
Donald Miller
I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.
Donald Miller
I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me
Donald Miller
If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.
Donald Miller
Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.
Donald Miller
I am human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.
Donald Miller
The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.
Donald Miller
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
Donald Miller
Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.
Donald Miller
Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.
Donald Miller
The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.
Donald Miller
But the people who took the bus didn't experience the city as we experienced the city. The pain made the city more beautiful. The story made us different characters than we would have been if we had skipped the story and showed up at the ending an easier way.
Donald Miller
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
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.
