• Every page was once a blank page, just as every word that appears on it now was not always there, but instead reflects the final result of countless large and small deliberations. All the elements of good writing depend on the writer's skill in choosing one word instead of another. And what grabs and keeps our interest has everything to do with those choices.

• Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.

• Isn't that how it is when you must decide with your heart? You are not just choosing one thing over another. You are choosing what you want. And you are also choosing what somebody else does not want, and all the consequences that follow. You can tell yourself, That's not my problem, but those words do not wash the trouble away. Maybe it is no longer a problem in your life. But it is always a problem in your heart.

• Es doloroso decirse a uno mismo: al elegir un camino estoy dando la espalda a otros mil. Todo es interesante; todo puede ser útil; todo atrae y encanta a una mente noble; pero la muerte está ante nosotros; la mente y la materia hacen sus demandas; de cualquier manera debemos someternos y descansar contentos en cuanto a las cosas que el tiempo y la sabiduría nos niegan, con una mirada de simpatía que es otro acto de nuestro homenaje a la verdad.
