"Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both."

"It's not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What's hard, she said, is figuring out what you're willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about."

"It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing."

"What are you prepared to give for your dream? If it is not everything...stop pipe dreaming."

"Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."

"I have come to see clearly that life is more than self. It is more than doing what I want, striving for what will benefit me, dreaming of all I can be. Life is all about my relationship with God. There is no higher calling, no loftier dream, and no greater goal than to live, breathe, and be poured out for Jesus Christ."--Jamie in Brother Andrew's "The Calling"

"In a brave and noble way, I want to sacrifice my life one day so that two of my clones can live."

"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to."

"Sacrifice precedes success."

"For me, no ideological or political conviction would justify the sacrifice of a human life. For me, the value of life is absolute, with no concessions. It's not negotiable."

"Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross."
