Things that seem bad at the time are really blessings.
Richard Paul Evans
Mr. Vey, you cannot be stuffed into a locker without your consent. Dallstrom said, which may be the dumbest thing ever said in a school. You should have resisted. That's like blaming someone who was struck by lightning for getting in the way.
Richard Paul Evans
Sometimes, when tragedy strikes, people give up hope that they can expect anything more from life, when the real quest is finding out what life expects from them.
Richard Paul Evans
Raising or caring for children requires sacrifice and service, which, I believe, heals us from the destructive forces of self-centeredness.

We carry around in our heads these pictures of what our lives are supposed to look like, painted by the brush of out intentions. It's the great, deep secret of humanity that in the end none of our lives look the way we thought they would. As much as we wish to believe otherwise, most of life is a reaction to circumstances.
Richard Paul Evans
. . .and every native has a story of winter – stories that usually begin, You call this a storm? And grow in the telling like battle tales shared by graying war veterans. It’s a peculiar character flaw to those of us from cold climates that we feel superior to those who have the sense to live elsewhere.
Richard Paul Evans
Could it be that to truly love a thing is not to desire it, but to desire happiness for it?
Richard Paul Evans
I've wondered why the famous congregate with each other. Perhaps it's to assure each other that they really are as important as they think they are.
Richard Paul Evans
Everyone has some inner power that awaits discovery.
Richard Paul Evans
. . . Harboring an emotion as powerful as gratitude has power of its own.
Richard Paul Evans
The strength of a friendship can be measured by the weight of the burden it's willing to share. (If you want to test this just ask someone to help you move.)
Richard Paul Evans
Rarely do we invest the time to open the book of another's life. When we do, we are usually surprised to find its cover so misleading and its reviews so flawed.
Richard Paul Evans
Magna est veritas, et praevalebit: truth is mighty, and will prevail
