“I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.”

The young are not afraid of telling the truth.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

Deep down, the young are lonelier than the old.

Love, what is love? I don’t think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring, sharing joys and sorrows.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever.

I had an occasional flash of understanding, but then got selfishly wrapped up again in my own problems and pleasures.

As long as you’re in the food business, why not make sweets?

As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?

God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.

I’m proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We’re all God’s children.

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.

I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.

Jesus has enough, is enough, and will be enough.

Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.

God’s ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
