Don't apologize for all the tears you've cried, you've been way too strong now for all your life.

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.

Trying to find a heart that's not walking away.

It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be but how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way.

If you make people think they're thinking they'll like you, but if you make people actually think, then watch out, you're not going to be popular.

Life's too short to stay where we are.

I love creating moments that feel bigger than just like an artist on stage.

The songs that you start to write that you are a little scared of can be the ones that you have to tell.

As my uncle always says, 'If your vibe outweighs your substance, you're destined to be a novelty.' I think that is true in all art.

As an artist, you just want to keep creating, keep finding a place that really inspires you that feels fresh and new and keep it exciting.

I guess we're all one phone call from our knees

For success, focus on your goal, not an obstacle.

And you’re stuck like a hook through the roof of your mouthTired of living for your sick daysEvery day makes you sickTired of living just get paidWhen you’re dying to livebut you can’t

An hour is indeed a long time when you count every second

The vision is not to see things just as we have imagined them to be. The vision is the freedom to live deliberately every day and that is a simply a choice.

This much I'm sure of. Chances for winning = 1 - (# of math students playing)/ (# of math students cheering). That's a fraction.

I've never met anybody who was helped by being told how wretched, miserable and sinful they are.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

Do you care about freedom? Dreams may have inspired it, and wishes prompted it, but only war and weapons have made it yours.
