“On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don’t quit, whatever you do. Persevere.”

Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day, week, or life.

Times may be hard and people may be demanding, but never forget that life is special. Every single day is a special day. God is at work in you!

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.

No marriage is “too dead” for the Lord to restore.

Nothing speaks louder or more powerfully than a life of integrity.

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

If you want to stop an argument, close your mouth.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.

The past is over forget it. The future holds hope reach for it.

The world has changed and it’s going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.

There is no quick fix. At the end of the day, you still have to do the work to maintain your weight. It can’t be a diet. You have to change your life.

An exercise outfit helps because it sets this time apart from the rest of your day and makes it matter more.

I tell the players that they can’t relive any day in their lives and that they can’t relive the minutes of a game.

I can’t take another day of this.

I’m walking every day and just staying kind of fit, and try not to have too many bad habits. Keep it minimal.

Every day from 10 to 6, we’d go in there and pretend that we were 13 year old girls and write these songs. That was the gig.

Live every day as if it were Saturday night.

I see the other players dressing different every day. I’ve got only one suit and I keep wearing it over and over. I’m really embarrassed.
