I wanted to use my fame and this face that everyone knows so well to help uplift and inspire people around the world.
Muhammad AliIf a subject excites us, if it stirs our deepest curiosity, or if we have to learn because the stakes are high, we pay much more attention. What we absorb sinks in.
Robert GreeneHe that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
Edmund BurkeAs our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
Thomas JeffersonI will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Francis BaconLife is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.
VoltaireI don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.
Tom BradyExample is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert SchweitzerYeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John LennonWhere the mind goes, the man follows.
Joyce MeyerWriting is like a ‚lust,‘ or like ‚scratching when you itch.‘ Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I, for one, must get it out.
C. S. LewisThe important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George EliotStay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!
Joyce MeyerI just feel like, with rappers, there’s so much complacency. It’s like, ‚Oh, I’m a rapper. I’m successful. I make money. That’s all that matters.‘ But there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world. Whether or not you’re aware of it, it’s happening.
J. ColeBefore success comes in any man’s life, he’s sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That’s exactly what the majority of men do.
Napoleon HillIn inner-city, low-income communities of color, there’s such a high correlation in terms of educational quality and success.
Bill GatesA belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiYour attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.
John C. MaxwellI think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.

Albert EinsteinI defy gravity.
Marilyn MonroeOn ‚Grey’s Anatomy‘ I wouldn’t care what I was playing – I would play a corpse, ‚cause I love it that much. It is deep true love, and it will never die.
Taylor SwiftI’m definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working – if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
Anthony BourdainWaste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Marcus AureliusAbundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
Wayne DyerAmbition has become a dirty word, and I believe it is a great evolutionary force for the positive. If people fail or go astray in their ambition I can live with it but not with people lowering their expectations, wasting time, slacking off and glorifying failure and stupidity.
Robert GreeneWell done is better than well said.
Benjamin FranklinIf you don’t set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.
Joel OsteenI’m sure that at no point in my life could I ever have shown the kind of focus and discipline and commitment necessary to work a station at elBulli or Le Bernardin. No. That ain’t me.
Anthony BourdainThroughout my years in business, I discovered something. I would always ask why you do things. The answers that I would invariably get are: ‚Oh, that’s just the way things are done around here.‘ Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks very deeply about things in business.
Steve JobsI want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I’d love that. But I don’t need to be. I just want to be here. That’s it.
Jim CarreyIf there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest.
Thomas JeffersonI don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
Jimmy CarterThe most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
Kobe BryantIt’s God’s will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It’s God’s will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.
Joel OsteenFaith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Joel OsteenImagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.
EpictetusYou know, not to sound corny or nuthin‘, but I felt like a fighter comin‘ up, man. I felt like, you know, I’m being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.
EminemI still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.
Billy GrahamTheology is unnecessary.
Stephen HawkingWe can take a ‚It was hard to get there.‘ But we ain’t taking no loss. We’re going to win.
DJ KhaledFailure is nature’s plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.
Napoleon HillPrayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
Martin LutherMy biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
Vivienne WestwoodGod is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.
Joyce MeyerMartyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.
Arthur SchopenhauerHe that lives upon hope will die fasting.
Benjamin FranklinThere is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
EpictetusI don’t think I will ever be content. I am somebody who is always hungry.
Sunil ChhetriChristianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
C. S. LewisAmbition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.
Eleanor RooseveltNature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheSingleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one’s aim.
John D. RockefellerTo build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston ChurchillMost employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get – they probably don’t have the mission in their souls.
Robert KiyosakiMy songs are like my children – I expect them to support me when I’m old.
Dolly PartonI never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
Adam SandlerPeace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children.
Joyce Meyer
