The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.

More quotes by Rick Warren

Image
The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.
Rick Warren
Image
The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't let your net worth determine your self worth.
Rick Warren
Image
Everytime you forgive you disappoint the devil.
Rick Warren
Image
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
Rick Warren
Image
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.
Rick Warren
Image
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.
Rick Warren
Image
God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
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
Image
Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.
Rick Warren
Image
I can't get my wife to agree with me on everything or my kids to agree with everything.
Rick Warren
Image
A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not a policymaker, I'm not a pundit. In fact, I don't have any interest in it. It's not on my agenda.
Rick Warren
Image
Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
Rick Warren
Image
Let your broken heart create an open heart
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
