I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.

More quotes by Rick Warren
When you jump across a canyon, cautious small steps and vacillation won't work. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
Rick Warren
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
Rick Warren
People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.
Rick Warren
One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.
Rick Warren
In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.
Rick Warren
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
Rick Warren
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
Rick Warren
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
Rick Warren
Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.
Rick Warren
When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.
Rick Warren
I just think the Internet has made us ruder.
Rick Warren
You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
Rick Warren
Kindness always starts with noticing the needs and hurts of others.
Rick Warren
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
You will be tempted by the need to feed yourself.
Rick Warren
We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.
Rick Warren
You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
Rick Warren
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
Rick Warren
