• In
  the creation of the federal government, the states exercised the
  highest act of sovereignty, and they may, if they please, repeat the
  proof of their sovereignty, by its annihilation. But the union possesses
  no innate sovereignty, like the states; it was not self-constitute d; it
  is conventional, and of course subordinate to the sovereignties by
  which it was formed.

• My conscience does not render a positive verdict in God’s courtroom when I look inside myself. The only reason I can sleep well at night is that even though my heart is filled with corruption and even though I am not doing my best to please him, I have in heaven at the Father’s right hand the beloved Son, who has not only done his best for himself but has fulfilled all righteousness for me in my place.

• The pursuit of joy in God is not optional.
  It is not an 'extra' that a person might grow into after he comes to
  faith. Until your heart has hit upon this pursuit your 'faith' cannot
  please God. It is not savng faith. Saving faith is the heartfelt
  conviction not only that Christ is reliable, but also that He is
  desirable.

• All the fruits of the Spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or Christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. And the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing.

• Being producer you're still going to have to sell somebody who's going to give you the money on the idea and everything like that. But it does give you a little bit more control if you're thinking in that creative process; it gives you more control to tell the story you want to tell rather than sort of just reading a script that somebody else wrote and says, "Yes, please, you can hire me for this job." So it's a little bit more hands-on, a little bit more closer to the heart.

You went out last night... you can't go out tonight!" so, you try to do that, and you try and ask somebody to please turn off the football game because you can't stand it any longer and you'd rather talk to them.You try to make time for each other where you can. You try to plan a trip away somewhere.
