"No one, down in the marrows, wants to live a midway life.
Live. all. out.
Shake up out of the shallows. Wake up. Live backwards.
From Well done, good and faithful servant — work your life backward from that.
Live upside down.
It’s the only way you’re ever going to get to see the Kingdom of God.
Live simply.
With great grace, no expectations, and lavish love.
Get your hands right dirty, live with life gritty and moving under your fingernails, give away what you wanted most, do without, write a card, throw out your wish-list, buy happiness by paying attention to God.
And this, every day still left, do this: Run to kiss, or to hug, or to make your heart beat hard and alive.
You’ve got time for it right now: Love Big or Go Home and Love the smallest the Biggest.
Love never gives up but lays itself down. This is the way of God. This is the way to live. Touch a child’s hand, smile on the street and up at the sky, tell someone they’re pretty amazing, use up all your time to pour out all love...
The only way to live faithfully is to focus.
In a world of Twitter and Facebook, the command not to turn to the left or the right takes on immediate gravity...."
