Favorite Uncle George Quotes

I'm sure that each of you have some favorite Uncle George quotes.

Here are a few of mine:

-"I'm for the trenches, not for the benches."

-"I could go back to FL and live in the retired missionary housing, sit in a rockin' chair, read Time magizine, and sip Coke, but why would I do that when I could be doing this."

-When I asked him what he would have done differently if he could do it all again, he said, "I would pray more, do less, but do it better."

-"The Holy Spirit makes real what Christ made possible."

-"Are you willing to take the torch?"

-"I want to be Paul, but I'm a Peter."

-"In ministry, double your opportunities, not your efforts."

-"80% of a missionaries life is attitude."

-"My congregation's greatest need is my personal holiness."
(He recalled this quote by R. M. McCheynne)

-"Work hard, live clean."
