Rick Warren Quotes

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.

I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.

Everybody needs somebody.

I'm not an isolated person. The more I connect to people, the more I have the feeling that things work.

I think the sense of community that exists with all the characters - that's the answer. The fact that they have found a family in their friends. It does give some depth and meaning to their lives.

We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

The fact is, everything we want or yearn for is won through other people. No man on an island is happy; he is merely existing. The joyous life is the one filled with rich relationships.

Whether we are famous or not, we all need God. We also need other people.

Friendship is such an important thing to me, and I feel like the people who I love and help keep me whole - I can't imagine a life without them.

No one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.

People crave comfort, people crave connection, people crave community.

We have people on the road with us - our wives, our families and pastors. We come alongside each other, and we're always in prayer.

I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

We are not, and never need be, alone.

Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled but halved. No man is an island

We were not placed on this earth to walk alone.

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

Next to grace, I bet God thinks making us need each other was one of His best ideas.

Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

Life is better when you share it.

As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others.

The important things to me are your faith, your family and your friends. If you have that, you have everything.
