Sometimes, God uses difficult people, like sandpaper, to rub the rough edges off us.

Don't confuse small with insignificant.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

To be happy in life... You've got to train your mind to see the good, to be grateful for what you have.

There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you're not running their race. You're running your race.

When it's all said and done, you may go through the fire, through the flood, through the famine, but you'll come out standing strong.

Life is short. Don't miss opportunities to spend time with the people that you love.
