It is better to be lonely than allow people who are not going anywhere keep you from your destiny.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude. I think that's how you pass those tests.

People in tough times - it doesn't mean they don't have a great attitude.

Don’t talk about the way you are. Talk about the way you want to be.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.

The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.

If you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small
