"Courage to me is doing something daring, no matter how afraid, insecure, intimidated, alone, unworthy, incapable, ridiculed or whatever other paralyzing emotion you might feel. Courage is taking action.....no matter what. So you're afraid? Be afraid. Be scared silly to the point you're trembling and nauseous, but do it anyway!"
"Life isn't all grand, but it isn't all miserable either. There's both sweet and sour in every day. So why focus on the ugly when you can gaze at what's beautiful? Concentrate on the good."
"Faith to me is trusting in every evidence that something is―that it is possible, that it is significant, that it is real."
"It's not my job to make you happy. It's your job to learn that only those who quit selfishly seeking their own happiness find it."
"Statistics, likelihoods, and probabilities mean everything to men, nothing to God."
"You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up."
