I have always enjoyed quotes that convict, make you think, and inspire your life. Here are a few of my favorites:

Heart for Unbelievers: “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay.
