Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
Rick Warren
Image
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Rick Warren
Image
All leaders are learners. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. I learn as much as I can, from as many as I can, as often as I can.
Rick Warren
Image
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Image
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.
Rick Warren

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
