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!

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.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.

When we are truly confident and secure, the opinions of others cannot control us.

Dream big, you are powerful.You can exceed all your expectations

Racism, prejudice and discrimination are an inexplicable collective stupidity

The pigs stuck out their little feet and snored.

I went to college for four years.
