Quotes from Through My Eyes

“People often seem to think that when you're following the Lord and trying to do His will, your path will always be clear, the decisions smooth and easy, and life will be lived happily ever after and all that. Sometimes that may be true, but I've found that more often, it's not. The muddled decisions still seem muddled, bad things still happen to believers, and great things can happen to nonbelievers. When it comes to making our decisions, the key that God is concerned with is that we are trusting and seeking Him. God's desire is for us to align our lives with His Word and His will.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

“You and I were created by God to be so much more than normal…Following the crowd is not a winning approach to life. In the end it’s a loser’s game, because we never become who God created us to be by trying to be like everybody else.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

“We all know of people who thought they could to it (whatever “it” is) tomorrow. We have all procrastinated on such a way, and often to our personal regret. It happens time and again, putting off things that we convince ourselves might be better, more meaningful, more appropriate for another time. So often that better time either never comes or really isn’t better or more appropriate after all. And then, sadly, the window of opportunity -to do something great- closes.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

“If I didn't work as hard as I could, then I think it would be a bit like saying, 'God, thanks for giving me this ability, but I don't really care about it. I'm going to do something else, and I'm not going to work quite as hard.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

“the people who can finish and finish at the same pace or stronger than when they started, those are the ones who are going to succeed; those are the ones who are going to be great.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes

Popular quotes

“Simplicity rules everything worth while, and whenever I have been up against a business proposition which, after taking thought, I could not reduce to simplicity, I have realized that it was hopelessly wrong and I have let it alone.”
― Daniel Yergin, quote from The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power

“Nhưng mỗi người trong chúng tôi bị chiến tranh chà nát theo một kiểu riêng, mỗi người ngay từ ngày đó đã mang trong lòng một cuộc chiến tranh của riêng mình nhiều khi hoàn toàn khác với cuộc chiến đấu chung, những nhìn nhận mà sâu trong lòng cực kỳ khác nhau về con người, về thời đại chiến trận, và đương nhiên mỗi người một số phận hậu chiến. Có thể nói chúng tôi giống nhau ở chỗ là hoàn toàn khác nhau trong cái vẻ hoàn toàn giống nhau trong quá trình nặng nề đeo đuổi cuộc chiến. Nhưng chúng tôi còn có chung một nỗi buồn, nỗi buồn chiến tranh mênh mang, nỗi buồn cao cả, cao hơn hạnh phúc và vượt trên đau khổ. Chính nhờ nỗi buồn mà chúng tôi đã thoát khỏi chiến tranh, thoát khỏi bị chôn vùi trong cảnh chém giết triền miên, trong cảnh khốn khổ của những tay súng, những đầu lê, những ám ảnh bạo lực và bạo hành, để bước trở lại con đường riêng của mỗi cuộc đời có lẽ chẳng sung sướng gì và cũng đầy tội lỗi, nhưng vẫn là cuộc đời đẹp đẽ nhất mà chúng tôi có thể hy vọng, bởi vì đấy là đời sống hòa bình.”
― Bảo Ninh, quote from The Sorrow of War: A Novel of North Vietnam

“they’d say things like “Good show!” or “Ho-lo, mommy-crack-a-whip!” or “Boozie!” or “Indibnibly fine shot!”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

“I'm not a cop. I'm just a tattoo artist. I'm just a guy who used to be in love with a girl. I'm just a fool who's been fooled too many times before. I'm just a man who's finally getting his revenge.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Sins & Needles

“He was from that generation—the type who didn’t change things just because they were tired of them, or they were outdated. You bought something, or married someone, and stuck with it.”
― Jenny Colgan, quote from Meet Me at the Cupcake Café

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
