When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

It’s a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don’t have to give all, and you still win, what’s this?

These are all personal crises, I’m sure, that I manifest in a song format and project into physical situations. You make little stories up about how you feel. It’s as simple as that.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Bragging just sounds good, man.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I’m not afraid to look bad on the screen.

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

After the first day of practice, there’s not one guy who’s playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it just hurts.

The United States and our allies are determined: we refuse to live in the shadow of this ultimate danger.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.

I am growing handsome very fast indeed! I expect I shall be the belle of Amherst when I reach my 17th year. I don’t doubt that I shall have perfect crowds of admirers at that age. Then how I shall delight to make them await my bidding, and with what delight shall I witness their suspense while I make my final decision.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

I know I’m a good professional, I know that no one’s harder on me than myself and that’s never going to change, under any circumstances.

I’m much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it’s certainly not easy.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

Well begun is half done.

With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

There are people out there who hate me and who say I’m arrogant, vain, and whatever. That’s all part of my success. I am made to be the best.
