I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and I can be touched by their pain because I have my own.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.

Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm.. No matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: "This too shall pass!"

God is not preparing the Blessing for YOU, He is preparing YOU for the Blessing

When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.

Not everyone will be happy when you begin to better yourself. Those who are for you will not just celebrate in your triumphs, but they will also pray with you through your tribulations.

Real value isn’t in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!

Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.

God has invested entirely too much in you for you to be comfortable in anything less than you were created to be.

God is a businessman. He is not going to do business with someone who shows no sign of potential return. He invests in people who demonstrate an ability to handle what He has given them.

You've got to keep looking for them, even after you find them. Otherwise, you'll lose them.

Those who have teachable spirit get wiser and wiser daily.

I never went out in the morning with the intention of getting drunk. It just happened.

Within each of us, there is a silence, a silence as vast as the universe. And when we experience that silence, we remember who we are.

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

I really can't deny it, I am who I am. I'm pretty normal. I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things, I trip, I spill food. I say stupid things... I really don't have it all together.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

Letting off steam always produces more heat than light.

It's my experience that people rise to the level of their own expectations and of the competition they seek out.

After a match, my opponent goes to the hospital and gets an IV and I have a martini.
