God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Rick Warren
Character is never built in a classroom; it is built in the circumstances of life.

Rick Warren
God's ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Rick Warren
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

Rick Warren
God uses his Word, people and circumstances to mold us. All three are indispensable for character development. God's word provides the truth we need to grow, God's people provide the support we need to grow, and circumstances provide the environment we need to grow.

Rick Warren
God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Rick Warren
God wants to produce the character of Christ in our lives because he knows that the more we become like him, the more fulfilled we will be.

Rick Warren
What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.

Rick Warren
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test... You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies.

Rick Warren
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

Rick Warren
Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

Rick Warren
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
