Naturally, I always place my word over anyone else's simply because I know why I said what I said.

A prophet is always underestimated, and part of what makes one a prophet is that he doesn't really mind it.

The Christian should never have to put others down in order to feel good about himself. Instead, he can simply check out the media's insistent portrayal of Christianity and feel grateful that he isn't as deceived as the masses who really swallow the garbage. Ignorance is ultimately how people put themselves down, and the mere Christian who knows what entails the mere Christian is ultimately free from such.

To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.

As cliché as it might sound, I'd rather lose than win by cheating. The latter is a much deeper, more personal loss in that one is admittedly whispering to himself his lack of competence. His cheating then begets more cheating, as he is ever-privately, ever-subconsciously insulting himself; thus, gradually deteriorating any remaining confidence.

There is more to joy than looking only for affirmation; refusing to be challenged is the only bigotry.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.
