Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.

We suffer much agony because we try to get from people what only God can give us, which is a sense of worth and value. Look to God for what you need, not to people.

Love can melt the hardest heart, heal the wounds of the broken heart and quiet the fears of the anxious heart.

I make mistakes every day. I'm not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that's what God is after, a heart that wants to be.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.

When we are truly confident and secure, the opinions of others cannot control us.

Since it has quietly began to snow, new distances have awakened within me.

A very disappointing outcome is always destined to happen to anyone who chases material things in search of happiness.

Knowing you don't have much time left changes things. You get kind of philosophical. And you figure things out-more like, they figure themselves out-and everything gets real clear.

If I had to live my life over again I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.

I'm always standing on the edge of something bad.

Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.

I want to be a figure for prison reform. I think that the criminal justice system is rotten.

I never really worried about stats in the minor leagues. I was more concerned with getting better and bringing a positive attitude every day.

Those who have made unhappy marriages walk on stilts, while the happy ones are on a level with the crowd. No one sees 'em!

You can be a star here in Europe and not be known at all in the United States.
