Top 10 Quotes by Rick Warren

1. "You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your real purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense."
— Rick Warren

2. "Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."
— Rick Warren

3. "Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go."
— Rick Warren

4. "Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time."
— Rick Warren

5. "Trusting God completely means having faith that He knows what is best for your life. You expect Him to keep His promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary."
— Rick Warren

6. "The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured."
— Rick Warren

7. "We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it."
— Rick Warren

8. "True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less."
— Rick Warren

9. "God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don't run after them."
— Rick Warren

10. "Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don't waste your pain; use it to help others."
— Rick Warren
