“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.”

God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice.

Someday your life will be over, no matter how much attention you give to your health. Will you look back with regret, because you nourished your body but starved your soul?

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God’s love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life’s journey can be different. With God’s help you can begin again.

We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?

If God can be fully proved by the human mind, then He is no greater than the mind that proves Him.

No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying.

We can change the course of events if we go to our knees in believing prayer.

There comes a moment when we all must realize that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.

You cannot build a superstructure on a cracked foundation.

I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

When I sit near the ocean in the morning and write my verses and breathe the salty wind which is coming from the water, I rejoice in God and I am blissful, as I was as a child.

You know, I’ve held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.

I want to give more time to my children, my family, to my health.

To separate children from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.

When I was a child, I used to fear monsters under the bed. I have since learned that most monsters are found within. And they are always worth fighting.

If you’re poor, you don’t often live near a good school. If it’s a competitive public school program, our kids are not prepared to enter those programs.
