Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.

For me at this time in my life I recognize that everything is about moving closer to that which is God. And without a full, spiritual center - and I am not talking about religion, I am talking about without understanding the fullness from which you've come you can't really fulfill your supreme moment of destiny.

You only have to believe that you can succeed, that you can be whatever your heart desires, be willing to work for it, and you can have it.

You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.

I believe that one of life's greatest risks is never daring to risk.
