The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Partake of some of life's sweet pleasures. And yes, get comfortable with yourself.

I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.

I still love church. My favorite church service is T.D. Jakes at the Potter's House. I don't think there is a better preacher in the country. His ability to interpret scripture is like no other.

I set out to really build this universe of interfaith connectedness, where people could see that other people in different parts of the world are very much like them.

If things go wrong and you hit a dead end-as you will-it's just life's way of saying it's time to change course

If you are still breathing, you have a second chance.
