What is it about childhood that never lets you go, even when you're so wrecked it's hard to believe you ever were a child?

Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem; that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God; if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.

Fear is how you lose your life...a little bit at a time...What we give to fear, we take away from...faith.

This is how you start to get respect, by offering something that you have.

Never tell a child that something it's too hard
