Lysa TerKeurstThe reason I'm interested in alternative worlds and near-future settings is that it allows us to look at our own limitations in our worldviews. These settings allow me to explore how our world might evolve if we allow individualistic kinds of success to remain our primary value.

I want empowered and educated people who understand a lot about the world's challenges to strive to be noble, rather than cynical. I think we still need more champions out there.

The opportunities will always be there for you.

Greg BehrendtWhen you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser.

Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.

The point is whether we should sacrifice other important interests to do so.
