Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.

Whoever listens to slander is himself a slanderer.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

Who would thought only of themselves and kill their race? You would hate other people if you don't want to stay who you are.

Success is not achieved by winning all the time. Real success comes when we rise after we fall.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
