I wrote the book 'Grace, Gold & Glory' because I had to overcome many challenges and hardships. I wanted to share my story to let anyone facing hardships know that your dream is still possible.

Never give up and always keep fighting, because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.

Hard days are the best because that's when champions are made.

My message is to never quit, never give up. When you have a little trouble here and there, just keep fighting. In the end, it will pay off.

Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.

Never quit. Never give up.

You know, God has a plan for me, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps and just rejoice and be happy.

The most important thing is to believe in yourself and know that you can do it.

Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!

No one is going to feel sorry for you, so you have to go out there and be fierce.

Always be courageous and strong, and don't fear.

Lies don't end relationships the truth does.

you are the mysterious fire at my finger tips

A coward is a servant of his fears.A hero enslaves his fears.

You are surrounded by endless possibilities. Your potential being the sum of your beliefs.

And that makes us (black women) feel like we have spokespeople, because everybody we encounter feels they have a piece of you and can tell you how to live your life

Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don't know the answer, I know only that I can't.

Medical statistics are a little bit like a bikini: what they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it Jumping up and down.

A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.

For every second of time was the strait gate through which the Messiah might enter.
