I'll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.

I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

Anyone who has read my books will know that I don't tend to use guides when I am travelling. It's not a pride thing, but it is certainly a fact.

We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths... and tell the world the glories of our journey.

Good writers are in the business of leaving signposts saying, Tour my world, see and feel it through my eyes; I am your guide.

So many people would like to have guidance from God because obviously, if you have a word from God, it's the best possible thing. But they don't relate that to life as a whole. Often they want guidance as a way of opting out of the responsibility of making decisions.

We all admire the wisdom of people who come to us for advice.

If we are really going to learn from others, we must decide to fully obey.

I have a mentor. I have... guides. I have a lot of guides. Not a lot, but people whose opinions I really respect and who I will turn to.

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.
