My mother would take the Band-Aid off, clean the wound, and say, "Things that are covered don't heal well." Mother was right. Things that are covered do not heal well.

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.

The past must not hold us from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my toys will break.So none of the other kids can use 'em....Amen.

I bleed to un-break you, un-mending me.I fall to save you...now who will save me.

A watched supper dish never fills!

What plays the mischief with the truth is that men will insist upon the universal application of a temporary feeling or opinion.

An agreement of rash men (a conspiracy).

I don't want people to say, 'Something is true because Tyson says it is true.' That's not critical thinking.

Truth knows no color; it appeals to intelligence.

Never discuss the poem you contemplate writing. It's like turning on the outside spigot. It takes all the pressure off the upstairs bathroom.

Each paradigm will be shown to satisfy more or less the criteria that it dictates for itself and to fall short of a few of those dictated by its opponent.
