Rick Warren
Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
Rick Warren
When God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick Warren
The antidote to the lust of the flesh is integrity.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren
When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship
Rick Warren
Life is too short to learn everything by personal experience.
Rick Warren
Two thousand years ago, in the Middle East, an event occurred that permanently changed the world. Because of that event, history was split. Every time you write a date, you’re using the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the focal point.
Rick Warren
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Rick Warren
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Rick Warren
