We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.

Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you’re supposed to be.

I gather from motivation around me – from a lot of personalities who have done well in their respective fields.

To bear means to support the weight of that which is held. It is a sacred trust to bear the priesthood, which is the mighty power and authority of God.

I believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

People are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they’re much more open.

Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

Single life is so overrated.

Funny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.

Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It’s the magic sauce.

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that’s called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.

When you feel like it’s too hard to obey God, remember that He will never tell you to do something without giving you the grace, power and ability to do it.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God – the rest will be given.

Sometimes I wish my first word was ‚quote,‘ so that on my death bed, my last words could be ‚end quote.‘

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

There is no uncreated being except God. God has no opposite.

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that’s all. So we direct our values to material things.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

I like learning more about people; I like to talk to people.

A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.

I want people to draw strength from me.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.

Dividers seek to make themselves look or feel better by making others feel worse. They damage relationships, fracture teams and organizations, and create havoc in people’s lives.

I have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he’s feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.

I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

I’m inspired by people who keep on rolling, no matter their age.

A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

I just have a thing in my brain that when I’m about to do something that’s genuine or authentic, I think of it in song form. I’ll be like, ‚Yo, this is a human emotion that no one talks about.‘

Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.

Live to learn, and you will really learn to live.

Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.

It’s hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don’t always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

On Sundays when I speak, I hopefully give somebody something that they can use the next day at work or at home.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don’t like their rules, whose would you use?

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?

After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.

What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

Sucking up to the biggies won’t get us anywhere.
