I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

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.

The material world coexists alongside the ideal life, and the purest intentions are bound to the earth by ridiculous threads, but they are threads of iron and they are not easily broken.

Remembering something from the past? you are creating it right now as evidence for who you are now.

don't ever think that you're a single in total freedom, but think of combating the forces of lust.

I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.

We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen still

Learning is the gradual replacement of fantasy with fact.

I never had any interest in being involved with the Boy Scouts.

Books, I found, had the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future.

It's really important for me to get across to our fans that whenever I put myself in different circumstances. It is to learn from it so I can relay it to others.

I don't know why, but I'm an easy target. And I don't do anything to dispel it.
