Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.

More quotes by Vance Havner

Vance Havner
There never has been a culture since this world began in which a New Testament Christian could feel at home.
Vance Havner
You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
Vance Havner
Today I am one day nearer Home than ever before.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
Vance Havner
It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.
