The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To live a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that's really the essence of the Christian faith.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Never put a question mark where God has put a period. When something is over and done, let it go and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

The development of the telescope, together with increased knowledge of things, brought men to see that the earth is not what man had once thought it to be.

But particularly when the media profess to strive toward objectivity, gatekeepers play a crucial role in helping people navigate the news to make educated political decisions.

The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality.

True purity, however, is a direction, a persistent, determined pursuit of righteousness. This direction starts in the heart, and we express it in a lifestyle that flees opportunities for compromise.

But I don't believe in guilt by association.

Life is complex. You don't have any person who is nice from the beginning until the end. You don't always have the notion of redemption. The bad people don't always pay.

The glory of riches and of beauty is frail and transitory; virtue remains bright and eternal. [Lat., Divitarum et formae gloria fluxa atque fragilis; virtus clara aeternaque habetur.]

I am the beast at the end of the rope.

The four horsemen of the prairie are tornado, locust, drought, and fire, and the greatest of these is fire, a rider with two faces because for everything taken, it makes a return in equal measure.
