“Gratitude, fill me up and overwhelm me with peace.”

Rest now, dear heart, let joy find you unexpected places.

Cold hearts cannot serve warm love.

There is pain here, but there is also power.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

This is not the season to shrink ourselves for anyone.

If peace is a priority, manage what you respond to.

Don’t rob the world of who you are by trying to be someone else.

Find rest in the space between who you are and who you want to be.

I don’t want to be perfect. I want to be free.

Speak to yourself like you would a child whom you love.

Where you are now, is not where you will always be.

Things that don’t work out often pave the way for things that will.

We only stop growing when we resist change.

The more love we give, the more healing we receive.

Take perfection, give me peace.

Rejection is a reminder to go where you are valued.

We live in the best of all possible worlds.

Well, there’s not a day goes by when I don’t get up and say thank you to somebody.

Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don’t mean that egotistically – I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

I’ve had tremendous success I’m very lucky.

Sir, Respect Your Dinner: idolize it, enjoy it properly. You will be many hours in the week, many weeks in the year, and many years in your life happier if you do.

Thankfulness is the tune of angels.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
