More quotes by Richard Paul Evans
It is in the dark times that the light of friendship shines brightest.
Richard Paul Evans
Some people spend so much time hunting treasure that they fail to see it all around them. It's like sifting through gold to find the silt.
Richard Paul Evans
In your hurry to keep Christmas, you have forgotten Christmas. The truest gift of Christmas is the gift of self.
Richard Paul Evans
It's been said that every new beginning in some other beginning's end.
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
I've come to know that what we want in life is the greatest indication of who we really are (p. 331).
Richard Paul Evans
Commitment to a plan or thought carries with it a force that can influence the unconscious mind and bring about the desired effect. In other words, once we decide to have something, the mind unconsciously begins to create the reality necessary to bring to pass what we desire.
Richard Paul Evans
...even the most horribl e of nightmares is laced with the promise of dawn.

Heroes rarely look the way we draw them in our minds: attractive, imposing figures with rippling muscles and strong chins. More times than not they are humble beings, small and flawed. It is only their spirits that are beautiful and strong.
Richard Paul Evans
Some people were born to work for others. Not in a mindless, servile-way--rather they simply work better in a set regimen of daily tasks and functions. Others were born of the entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy the demands of self-determination and the roll of the dice.
Richard Paul Evans
I have learned that real angels don't have gossamer white robes and Cherubic skin, they have calloused hands and smell of the days' sweat.
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
The truest grace is not to forgive, but to have never found fault.
Richard Paul Evans
The first step of a journey is always the longest.
Richard Paul Evans
As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker's socks. These stowaways may seem insignificant at first, but, over time, if we do not occasionally stop and shake them free, the accumulation becomes a burden to our souls.
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
I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life. There are others, fellow sojourners, whose journeys are interwoven with ours in seemingly random patterns, yet, in the end, have been carefully placed to reveal a remarkable tapestry. I believe God is the weaver at that loom.
Richard Paul Evans
The further along we get on our life journey the more we wonder about those who traveled before us and paved the road.
Richard Paul Evans
When we hate someone we make them more powerfull than they are.
Richard Paul Evans
Maybe, if we just accepted our deaths, we might finally start to live.
