More important than talent, strength, or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

If I had my life to live over again, I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more, I'd talk more to children, and I'd learn how they laugh.

Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there's something good about feeling both.

Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.

I feel a part of the congregation. I've never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It's just normal. We're treated like everybody else.

I count myself really fortunate that I have some lifelong friends. The best thing about a friend is when you are being your own worst enemy a friend can help snap you out of it.

Singing in a storm silences thunder’s threats.

You experience your soul each time you sense yourself as more than a mind and body, your life as meaningful, or you feel that you have gifts to give and you long to give them.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

I wish the battles of men could be solved in their heads.

The greatest victory is the one over oneself.

Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.

One of the most difficult things for any artist to do is create a world that looks both completely alien yet real and possible.

Despite the rain, it's still raining here at Old Trafford.

My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.

Where you stop is where you stop. There is always more of God.
