When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life hands you hurricanes, you go surfing.

Don't be discouraged, but know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance brings character, and character brings hope, and this is a hope which will not disappoint us.

If we truly believe in an all-powerful God, then there's going to be beauty and truth to be found in all sorts of different places.

Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.

Sometimes, the best songs are the ones you write without any pen and paper or audio recording device or guitar in your hands. Because there's nothing between you and the melody; it's just a great lyric.

Your faith is what you do daily, you can't separate your heart from your body and keep them both alive, they're almost the same thing.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.
