You don't have to be famous to be great.

You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
Rick Warren
Image
I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren

Why is this happening to me? Why am I having such a difficult time? One answer is that life is supposed to be difficult! It’s what enables us to grow. Remember, earth is not heaven!
Rick Warren
Image
We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't let your net worth determine your self worth.
Rick Warren
Image
War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
Rick Warren
Image
A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren
Image
The most important is to prepare you for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
You must match your music to the kind of people God wants your church to reach.... The music you use 'positions' your church in your community. It defines who you are.... It will determine the kind of people you attract, the kind of people you keep, and the kind of people you lose.
Rick Warren

If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
Rick Warren
Image
Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren

Blessed are the uncool for they shall be happy without needing the approval of others.
