Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.

It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable.

The only true disability is a crushed spirit

Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.

Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.

I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.

Je tiefer sich das Leid in euer Sein eingräbt, desto mehr Freude könnt ihr fassen.

The shades of colours are splendid.

Pay your bills, yes. But don't invest in them. Invest in your dreams. What you invest in grows.

Тhere isnʹt much I wouldnʹt do for you. Тhe stupider, the better.

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care The death of each day's life sore labour's bath Balm of hurt minds great nature's second course Chief nourisher in life's feast.

Wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities.

There is nothing in our experience, however trivial, worldly, or even evil, which cannot be thought about christianly.

Success, and even life itself, wouldn't be worth anything if I didn't have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me.

I knew about the music. I got that part but I wanted to know the business, I wanted to know about royalties, how people got paid, producers and stuff like that so I read all those books like twice.
