“God designed the world in such a way that everything functions on principles. Principles are eternal laws established and inherent in creation that make creation function.”

The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live. And most people are concerned about growing old rather than being effective.

Your faith is only as strong as the test it survives.

The people who have impacted the world didn’t live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.

Attitude creates your world and designs your destiny.

Your future is not ahead of you, it’s trapped within you.

I discovered that success has very little to do with education or race or disposition; it has more to do with principles and following those principles.

Whatever you compromise to gain, you will lose.

The greatest failure in life is being successful in the wrong assignment.

Failure is not the absence of success. Failure is the neglect of trying.

You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out

I went from one state of life to another state of life by obeying, understanding, and applying the principles that are laid down in the Bible.

If you cling to an experience that cannot accommodate change, this can cause you to become a victim of that change. He who worships the past will remain there.

Great leadership is not attained by pursuing greatness but by persevering through great tests.

No amount of training in leadership skills, courses in management methods, power titles, promotions, or associations can substitute for the right attitudes.

The graveyard is the richest place on the surface of the earth because there you will see the books that were not published, ideas that were not harnessed, songs that were not sung, and drama pieces that were never acted.

The shortest distance to leadership is service.

When your parents regulate everything you hear and everything you intake, it forces you to get creative in other ways. It sparked the writing bug and the very overactive imagination. Because I’ve had a lot of time by myself and a lot of time isolated from regular culture, I created my own.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

I think that a president needs to have a variety of views presented. But also, there has to be a team effort, because otherwise, I think it creates a dissonance and difficulty.

Especially as an artist, the creative freedom we have makes us who we are. We’re human beings-we’re gonna mess up sometimes. I definitely feel like people should continue being who they are. As long as you’re staying true to who you are, that’s super important.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.

order without freedom, even if sustained by momentary exaltation, eventually creates its own counterpoise; yet freedom cannot be secured or sustained without a framework of order to keep the peace.

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.

Agreement can always be reached by increasing the generality of the conclusion; when this is done, the form is generally preserved but only the illusion of policy is created.
