Your strength lies in knowledge, your power lies in wisdom, your treasure lies in understanding, and your wealth lies in life.

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.

Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.

There are no greater or lesser arts, only greater or lesser artists.

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.

I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.

Old age and youth cannot live together.

There's something that feels more organic about watching a stunt that's done by you. There's also a feeling of accomplishment doing it yourself.

Big thinkers are specialists in creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in their own minds and in the minds of others.

I can forgive the body breaking down. It's a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.

The vocals are the very last thing I do. So, it's kinda the opposite: with country. it's singing and guitar first, but with rock, I worry about the riff and music, vocals last.

I have a lot of mental scars from being brought up Catholic and being sent to Catholic school for 13 years!

old habits are hard to break, but not impossible!
