“I want it all quickly ’cause I don’t want God to stop and think and wonder if I’m getting more than my share.”

I’ve never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I’m here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.

Money is the best deodorant.

You find out who your real friends are when you’re involved in a scandal.

You can’t choose between right and wrong by taking a census.

Seems like we always spend the best part of our time just saying goodbye.

I’ve been through it all, baby, I’m mother courage.

When I’m not with the one I love, I love the one I’m with.

You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves.

I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.

If it is not to make the world better what is money for?

The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.

I’ve always sung in the shower. Now I make the stage a mental shower in order not to get too uptight and enjoy it.

I hate the idea of always having to interpret other people’s ideas and thoughts and words, because I’m very independent and, I guess, a free thinker.

I’m not like anyone. I’m me.

I’m not afraid. Life is just such an adventure to me.

I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.

Worry implies that we don’t quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives.

I am God’s wheat and shall be ground by their teeth so that I may become Christ’s pure bread.

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.

The god you worship is the one you’re capable of becoming.

God knew what we were before conversion – wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion – weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

Having faith doesn’t mean I have all the answers. It means trusting God especially in the midst of uncertainty.

Be obedient to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ was in the flesh to the Father, and the apostles to Christ and to the Father and to the Spirit, so that there may be unity in flesh and in spirit.

Following Christ isn’t something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.
