I don't think that you can let the storms of life overwhelm you. When you do that, you are no better than the craziness that caused you to be under attack.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.

Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm.. No matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: "This too shall pass!"

God is not preparing the Blessing for YOU, He is preparing YOU for the Blessing

When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.

Not everyone will be happy when you begin to better yourself. Those who are for you will not just celebrate in your triumphs, but they will also pray with you through your tribulations.

Real value isn’t in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!

Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.

God has invested entirely too much in you for you to be comfortable in anything less than you were created to be.

God is a businessman. He is not going to do business with someone who shows no sign of potential return. He invests in people who demonstrate an ability to handle what He has given them.

Importance is not in ‘discharge’ (of karmas) that occurs

I can pretend to be brave, but I'm not

Truth is weirder than any fiction I've seen.

For me, I took the exact right path. The cranky, independent one. And I've never looked back on it with anything but joy.

They cut us up like boarding house pie. And that's real small pieces.

When people let youd own, God will pick you up.

I could cover the gamut. It's cool though you go in for an hour, read the script, leave and you got a check.

I write a syndicated column for The Washington Post that goes to about 200, 250 papers.

It is not through judgment that the good in people can be reached, but through love and faith.

The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.
