More quotes by Donald Miller
I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

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.

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.

The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.

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.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

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.
