The great commandment is that we preach the gospel to every creature, but neither God nor the Bible says anything about forcing it down people's throats.

The world, we'd discovered, doesn't love you like your family loves you.

I was raised to face any challenge.

To live, a man needs food, water, and a sharp mind.

Never give up, no matter what.

If you can take it, you can make it.

To persevere, I think, is important for everybody. Don't give up, don't give in. There's always an answer to everything.
