“This year has taught me the simple craft of belief. I believe in the things I’ve nurtured and built this year. Slowly but carefully. Such as understanding, knowledge, passion, strength; the hundreds of songs I’ve written, the 365 poems, the books I’ve read and the miles I’ve run. The resolution to breathe, to meditate, to not harm my mind or body even when I’ve felt like it. ”

“Knowledge is strength.”

“Without strength can we work?”

“Human strength plus intelligence cannot unlock the door that God is hiding its key.”

“Serve the Lord with what you have — your substance, strength, knowledge, and ability”

“We need to know who we are and then stand strong”

“Use your knowledge and physical strength. You have the opportunity today, start living for Him”

“It’s hard to know what’s right in this life,’ she said. ‘We do what we can, but what we really need is mercy. Do you know who taught me that?’ A grin. ‘You.”

“The only area of strength for Satan’s rulership is in our area of ignorance.”

“Your voice may not be loud today or be heard today, but make sure you are still standing on your feet.”

“An entire life, lavishly colored with ecstasies and agonies, is exclusively born from the functional expression of neurochemistry. Every time that we sob in sorrow or laugh in joy, we do so, steered by a glorious storm of hormonal interplay within the deepest parts of our mind. And with each drop of tear that we shed in our times of excruciating pain, our brain constructs majestic new cellular connections to aid in the pursuit of our passion – in the pursuit of truth.”

“While in bondage, the strength of the mind is not put into full action in order to maximize its full potential.”

“Stay with your passion but have a philosophy that is beyond your strength so that you can have a legacy, even a legacy that will outlast you.”

“Every high ideal appears utopian to the ordinary masses, until they see it manifesting in front of their own eyes.”
