This inspiring man has 940 quotes to his name.  It's understandable why he was so prolific, since he had develop an internal strategy to combat the serious physical illness he overcame, very early in life.  Although you might not practise his religion, he shows a life-force which is admirable.  I have trouble expressing myself with sales clerks on a daily basis. 
 
What I'll never forget, is the humiliating comment the athletic membership co-ordinator made, to the aquatic director at my office, when she asked her if "..I could speak..."  since I never speak at all at the gym.  I'ved used it as an escape from the daily stresses of life, caregiving, work. 
 
Here are more of the quotes:
 
      Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous."
  • "Have faith in God; God has faith in you."
  • "Being a male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of choice." Ben Kinchelow
  • "Teach to teach to teach. " / "Teach to teach, 'til every man is taught."
  • "Christians are not patched-up sinners, they are new creations."
  • "Do not let others create your world for you, for they will always create it too small."
