“We all start with zero. We all start at the beginning. Do not give up.”

I will try one hundred times to get up, and if I fail one hundred times. If I fail and I give up, will I ever get up? No! If I fail I’ll try again, and again and again. But I want to tell you it’s not the end.

The greatest rewards come when you give of yourself. It’s about bettering the lives of others, being part of something bigger than yourself, and making a positive difference.

Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.

I honestly didn’t think miracles could ever come from my broken pieces, and I was disabled in fear that my dreams would always remain as dreams. Don’t give up on you. Don’t give up on God. Don’t give up on love.

You do not know what you can achieve until you try.

I don’t want to be someone’s reason to hate their life. I want to be someone’s reason to seek something more in their life.

Whether your life is happy or not is your own choice.

We need to awaken the next generation to understand that we are all change-makers. The nation is not as strong as its government but its next generation

Don’t put your life on hold so that you can dwell on the unfairness of past hurts.

Failure is not important, how you overcome it is.

When you can’t get a miracle, you can still be a miracle for someone else.

You don’t know what God can do with your broken pieces until you give God your broken pieces.

I encourage everyone to know that God has a plan for their life and that God never makes a mistake even though it seems like He is not listening or paying attention sometimes.

God gave you just one mouth but He gave you two ears, so you should listen twice as much as you speak

If the world thinks you’re not good enough, it’s a lie, you know. Get a second opinion.

You have arms and legs, but don’t know what to do with your lives.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move.

Even the greatest was once a beginner. Don’t be afraid to take that first step.

Whatever your goal in life, the beginning is knowledge and experience.

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
