Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.

My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.

My dear sisters in humanity: Your beauty-both internal and external-is priceless. Only the man who marries you has a right to see it. Never forget, if he doesn't want to marry you, he doesn't deserve you.

When you have friends, don’t expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, don’t expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When you’re an activist, don’t put your hope in the results. When you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on God.

Holding on to hope when everything is dark, is the greatest test of faith

Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.

Beware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.
