Lord, please give me big ears and a thoughtful mind. Teach me to ask well and see it through other’s eyes.

Karate is for life, not points.

Church should be a place where love is evident, God delivers, lives are changed, hearts are healed, and families restored.

Let no man of us budge one step, and let slaveholders come to beat us from our country. America is more our country, than it is the whites-we have enriched it with our blood and tears. The greatest riches in all America have arisen from our blood and tears.

The Americans say that we are ungrateful-but I ask them for heaven's sake, what should we be grateful to them for-for murdering our fathers and mothers?-Or do they wish us to return thanks to them for chaining and handcuffing us, branding us, cramming fire down our throats, or for keeping us in slavery, and beating us nearly or quite to death to make us work in ignorance and miseries, to support them and their families. They certainly think we are a gang of fools.

Allowing God to charge our lives that we may empower people around us to live In a greater relationship with him.

To me, the real marks of beauty in a woman are courage, character, kindness, and personality.
