When nothing makes sense and the world seems upside down, listen to your heart, it will never lie about your true feelings.

It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.

Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it.

A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.

You cannot grow unless you are willing to change. You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be.

One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well being of the people in your life.

Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves.

It all begins with you. If you do not take care of yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life.

All things pass and pain is temporary. It comes to teach a lesson and when the lesson is understood it disappears into the night.

The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still, when silence speaks loudest.

The day you stop worrying will be the first day of your new life; anxiety takes you in circles, trust in yourself and become free.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy

I enjoyed so much working with the guys from Wilco, and riffing off of them, and having someone come up to me with ideas, because normally in the studio it's me who has to come up with all the ideas.

That is the moral of this story, kids. No matter how many people try to stomp on your happiness, you have the power to do whatever you want with your life.

People who come up to me are drummers or fans of the band. I don't get it too much, but I'll be somewhere and someone will have me take a picture or something.

I want to go down in history.

There is no easy in the world neither hard everything is the same in a way.

Sometimes funerals and weddings bring out the worst rather than the best in people.

I believe there is only one truly courageous thing we can do with our lives: to love unconditionally. Absolutely, with all of ourselves, so much that it hurts and then more.

What defines you as a person is not the life you were born in to, but what you made of it.

Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure; let us be jocund
