If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!

Don't think or judge, just listen.

There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying.

Your actions is like a raindrop; it falls into the pond making ripples and then its over.

It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys.

Looking at the pond, all I could think was that it is an incredivle thing, how a whole world can rise from what seems like nothing at all.

If you didn't love him, this never would have happened. But you did. And accepting that love and everything that followed it is part of letting it go.

You should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.

Sometimes a question can hurt more than an answer.

Being brave and self-confident doesn't necessarily start inside...It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

If what you said was true, where was the need to shout?

I have no desire to play music unless I need music.

I'm quite sure that no court is telling anybody that they cannot say whatever they want to say.

It is wise to withhold one's heart and mind from men who think themselves superior.

Stories lie deep in our souls. Stories lie so deep at the bottom of our hearts that they can bring people together on the deepest level. When I write a novel, I go into such depths.

The Christian life is not limited to prayer, but requires an ongoing dedication and courage born of prayer.

I won't apologize for who I am

We must learn to live the African way. It's the only way to live in freedom and with dignity

We don't deserve anything; we must work for everything.
