I always encourage authors (especially new authors) to be as generous as we are blessed. For one thing, it is a way to help people. For another, it is a seed one is planting for the life of the book. Someone gave it to someone who gave it to someone else.

When you know that everything matters—that every move counts as much as any other—you will begin living a life of permanent purpose.

Remember, the goal is not to raise great kids; it's to raise kids who become great adults.

I will not waste time on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement.

We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.
