Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

The power of attention is much greater than the force of self-restraint.

whatever you are be a good one

When we think of the state of the economy, we are not thinking in terms of money flow. We are thinking in terms of the effect on everyday lives of people.

You've got to look and pick your shots - and that's where your class and skill comes out.

Don't be concerned about others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

I want to work beyond external aggressions, forget that one has something to do for others if it's not for oneself.

Just figure out what you think jazz is, and then if it fits into that category, it's jazz, and if it doesn't, it isn't. It's no big deal.

Nothing we can do outrages Nature directly. Our acts of destruction give her new vigour and feed her energy, but none of our wreckings can weaken her power.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well. I like things that have a twist - like 'Atonement,' which I haven't read obviously, as I'm a bit young.

I'm addicted to silence and privacy; I wallow in it.
