Find a person who has embraced anger, and you will find a person with a wounded ego.

The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.

We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true.

I'm really developing feelings for the kid.

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.

God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.
