The funny thing about the heart is a soft heart is a strong heart, and a hard heart is a weak heart.

I suspect that 'Kindness and Cruelty' and 'Mercy and Justice' all have secret affairs, as though they rendezvous only within certain sophisticated souls: those who hate being offensive, but love telling the truth.

When good people consider you the bad guy, you develop a heart to help the bad ones. You actually understand them.

Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters.

For those constantly full of joy, they sometimes feel a little guilty for always feeling so good. That guilt is compassion: it flies in with an attempt to share one's joy with others who do not have it.

Lingering, bottled-up anger never reveals the 'true colors' of an individual. It, on the contrary, becomes all mixed up, rotten, confused, forms a highly combustible, chemical compound then explodes as something foreign, something very different than one's natural self.

I think a lot of psychopaths are just geniuses who drove so fast that they lost control.

Take lightly what you hear about individuals. We need not distort trust for our paltry little political agendas. We tend to trust soulless, carried information more than we trust soulful human beings; but really most people aren't so bad once you sit down and have an honest, one-on-one conversation with them, once, with an open heart, you listen to their explanations as to why they act the way they act, or say what they say, or do what they do.

Wisdom without Christ brings bitterness; with Christ it brings compassion.
