T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"

"Betrayal and dishonor is usually an inside job. Keep it 'sucka-free', loved one!"

"Success is not determined by the outcome. The outcome is the result of having already decided that you are successful to begin with."

"Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress."

"Not every instance requires a response. Truth resides silently in the seat of power."

"Don’t spoil me with your lies, love me with your truth."

"You do not get what you wish for, unless it be known to the source of your desire."

"While fear depletes power, faith gives wings for the soul’s elevation."

"What you are, and who you are should provide greater clarity about where you have been and where you are headed. Although one distinguishes spiritual from physical nature, the ultimate unification of the two is the consequence of the struggle for internal, external and eternal – peace."

"Head up, heart open. To better days!"

"Elevate your inside game. A negative attitude is below the horizon...a place for lonesome hearts."

"Life: It is better not to wrap philosophy around such an inconceivable evolving beautiful mystery. If based on perception, alone; whatever the conclusion - it is still guessing."

"Solitude is the house of peace."

"In the game of life, we all receive a set of variables and limitations in the field of play. We can either focus on the lack thereof or empower ourselves to create better realities with the pieces we play the game with."

"You cannot build a dream on a foundation of sand. To weather the test of storms, it must be cemented in the heart with uncompromising conviction."

"Don't wish...DO! Don't try...BE! Don't think...KNOW! And above all: Bless a stranger with a small, yet powerful, random act of kindness. You feel me?"

"Making a dream into reality begins with what you have, not with what you are waiting on."

"There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road."

"Success is not determined by the outcome. The outcome is the result of having already decided that you are successful to begin with."

"Where there are two on point of independently distinguished purposes, you will find one infinite journey whose path is blazed with the guiding light of wisdom."

"Life, for the living, is a gift of opportunity; an exercise of the will to choose."
