Don't allow yourself to be upset and disturbed. Hold your peace because without it you have no power.

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.

We suffer much agony because we try to get from people what only God can give us, which is a sense of worth and value. Look to God for what you need, not to people.

Love can melt the hardest heart, heal the wounds of the broken heart and quiet the fears of the anxious heart.

I make mistakes every day. I'm not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that's what God is after, a heart that wants to be.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.

When we are truly confident and secure, the opinions of others cannot control us.

How could I be sleeping with this particular man.... Surely only true love could justify my lack of taste.

Through career fumbles and life changes, she supported me. Through shattered dreams and hopes almost-realized, she supported me too.

Timing's mighty important. In cooking, in life, in love. If the timing goes wrong, you've got to start over. Do it right.

I'm not talking to anyone, I'm delivering a monologue. It's the inebriated man's prerogative.

The Prelude to Tristan and Isolde reminds me of the old Italian painting of a martyr whose intestines are slowly unwound from his body on a reel.

Instead of focusing on the great men of God, I prefer to focus on the Great God of men.

You never lose until you actually give up.

The least planned part of the journey, however, was the journey itself.

Everything you gather is just one that you can lose.

The great thing about cheap natural gas, again it's cheap, and it provides a cleaner alternative to coal. But it's still a fossil fuel, and because it's still a fossil fuel, it still emits carbon.
