Your enemies, your critics, the people that are trying to push you down-God can use them to push you up.

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.

You will make all kinds of mistakes

Besides Bob Satterfield, the only ones who ever hurt me were my ex-wives.

I was never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it.

Follow the masters! But why should one follow them? The only reason they are masters is that they didn't follow anybody!

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.
