More From Donald Miller

Speaking of love, one problem that recurs more and more frequently these days, in books and plays and movies, is the inability of people to communicate with the people they love: husbands and wives who can't communicate, children who can't communicate with their parents, and so on. and the characters in these books and plays and so on, and in real life, i might add, spend hours bemoaning the fact that they can't communicate. i feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up!

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.

When i got this saxophone, it became a religion. there wasn't tv, there wasn't much money, and there was just a real dedication.... i never thought of it as an art. it was just work that i loved. not just work, but work that i loved. i loved it so much, i would play it if nobody listened to it. any jazz musician, if there's nobody around to listen, would play just for the sheer joy of improvising music.
Art Real Dedication

When it comes to immigration reform, now is the time ... i've never seen a better political environment ... i'm not doing immigration reform to solve the republican party's political problem. i'm trying to save our nation from, i think, a shortage of labor and a catastrophic broken system.
