Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

Our achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.

Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.

Once a job it has begun, do not stop until it's done. Whether it is big or small, do it well or not all.

And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.
