Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

When you are young, you cannot imagine being disabled. You imagine you would conquer it somehow. As I’ve got older, I can imagine it; I can see how life narrows in. I feel compassion for my mother now.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I’m going to be my best right now. That’s what faith is all about.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

My son is becoming me – just a silly, silly prankster guy.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.
