"The God I believe in believes in me and won’t silence my heart or others based on a paycheck at the end of the day."

"I love you. I hate you. I like you. I hate you. I love you. I think you’re stupid. I think you’re a loser. I think you’re wonderful. I want to be with you. I don’t want to be with you. I would never date you. I hate you. I love you…..I think the madness started the moment we met and you shook my hand. Did you have a disease or something?"

"There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it."

"Time is too swift for those who fear, too long for those who wait, too short for those who finally find peace, but for those who love, time is eternal. For nothing is ever lost that God wants you to find."

"Faith requires following the power of a whisper."

"When relationships fail it is usually because someone chooses not to show up for the battle."

"The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen."

"Two people with mental issues in a relationship does not work. It's like sitting in a boat and neither one has an oar to row the other to shore. You can meet your mirror image in life, but that doesn't mean you should marry him."

"No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others."

"When someone you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you."

"When a man plays with your heart it is for one of two reasons: He knows he can or he is undecided."

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said. The art of reading between the lines is a life long quest of the wise."

"Fear is the glue that keeps you stuck. Faith is the solvent that sets you free."

"The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem--not others."

"Reputation is what others think of us; character is what God knows of us. When you have spent what feels like eternity trying to repair a few moments of time that destroyed the view others once had of you then you must ask yourself if you have the problem or is it really them? God doesn’t make us try so hard, only enemies do."

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

"Faith requires following the power of a whisper."

"Inspirational quotes are dances of light that shine in dark places during your life."

"The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem--not others."

"Every quote is like a Picasso. The meaning is different for each person and half the admirers miss the true intent and twisted humor of it all."
