Get up every day, love God, and do your best. He will do the rest!

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.

Courage is being scared to death ... and saddling up anyway.

It's very hard to understand what's happening in someone's brain and what goes into their experience and their death, and the music has to say a lot.

I know when something is kind of half-baked.

What writing ROOM taught me was that I know exactly how to be the perfect mother, but I'm not willing to do it for more than ten minutes at a time.

We are born with the seed of joy; it is up to us to nurture it.

You treat God like you treat any dangerous looney — keep him calm and stay on his good side.

Whatever happens, we have got The Maxim gun, and they have not.

It is important to always love what you do and do what you love. This is my mentality towards my career and my personal life.

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.

If I can make people laugh it's like being a good lover.
