You must channel your energy towards what you love, for what you love is the foundation of your life.

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.

To be vulnerable, to be raw, to virtually expose your guts, I like doing that.

Only this time, now that she knew what it felt like to kiss him, she didn’t want to slap that look off his face, she wanted to kiss it off.

Jesus is not asking you to sell the gospel

When we pray, we bring G-d into the world

I think that of my 21 symphonies, each has its own place.

I tend to jot down music.

Every great accomplishment of mankind has been preceded by an extended period, often over many years, of concentrated effort.

The cards are stacked (quite properly, I imagine) against all professional aesthetes, and no doubt we all deserve the dark, wordy, academic deaths we all sooner or later die.

Can you imagine wot it was like. All the girls gettin' luvly figgers and me stayin' flat as a pancake? It was no fun, I tell you.

Trying to get government to be as efficient as business is as hopeless as trying to teach cats to bark and dogs to meow.
