My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.

Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.

Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.

Our Heavenly Father loves you. He has created you to be successful and to have joy.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.

In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

Life is wasted on the living.

There’s an ecstatic side to writing. It’s like jazz. It just has a life.

Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

If we don’t know life, how can we know death?

Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.

I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren’t able to live in the place you called home.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

We cannot always oblige; but we can always speak obligingly.

No political event can be judged outside of the era and the circumstances in which it took place.

I don’t want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.

Life is a lively process of becoming.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

The fact is that since you’re a divine creation who originated in the world of Spirit, you have exactly the right amount of smarts to accomplish all that you need and want to do while you’re here on earth. It’s all perfect… and so are you!

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

When you look at the sun during your walking meditation, the mindfulness of the body helps you to see that the sun is in you; without the sun there is no life at all and suddenly you get in touch with the sun in a different way.

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness… my life was without past or future… but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

I laugh and joke, but I don’t get distracted very easily.

I know Elon, we’re very like minded in many ways. We’re not conceptual twins. One thing I want us to do is go to Mars, but for me it’s one thing. He’s singularly focused on that. I think motivation wise, for me I don’t find that Plan B idea motivating. I don’t want a plan B for Earth, I want Plan B to make sure Plan A works.

You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.

If you’re doing your best, you won’t have any time to worry about failure.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

Fill the earth with your songs of gratitude.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

I am results-oriented.

Modern science says: ‚The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.‘ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

Over the years, I’ve learned that a confident person doesn’t concentrate or focus on their weaknesses – they maximize their strengths.

When we tell the story of our own conversion, I would have it done with great sorrow, remembering what we used to be, and with great joy and gratitude, remembering how little we deserve these things.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.

I love imperfections.
