Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

If you don't have your health, you don't have anything.

As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that's when I became so much happier.

WANT shows up in conversation - EXPECTATION shows up in behavior.

Discordance is evil. Harmony is virtue.
