More quotes by Donald Miller
...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.
Donald Miller
Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.
Donald Miller
It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.
Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.
Donald Miller
The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller

Donald Miller
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
Donald Miller

Donald Miller
If I use the Bible to prove I am right, I have yet to be humbled by the beautiful truths of the Bible.
Donald Miller

Donald Miller
I had always suspected language was quite limited in its ability to communicate the intricate mysteries of truth.
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
The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
Donald Miller
We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.
Donald Miller
The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.
Donald Miller
The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.
Donald Miller
Without a positive male role model in your life it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.
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.
