“You add value to people when you value them.”

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a success even if it doesn’t show yet.

People who blame others for their failures never overcome them. They simply move from problem to problem. To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself, and you can’t do that if you don’t take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes.

If your habits don’t line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream.

True success is obeying God.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who want to get things done, and those who don’t want to make mistakes.

When values, thoughts, feelings, and actions are in alignment, a person becomes focused and character is strengthened.

It’s better to prepare than to repair.

The true measure of your character is what you would do if you were sure no one would ever find out.

The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday.

Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

When you are bigger than your purpose you have a career. When your purpose is bigger than you, you have a calling.

You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.

God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.

Commitment comes as a result of choice, not conditions.

People say to me, why did you do those films, and I say, for money. It wasn’t for diamond rings or kidney shaped swimming pools in Beverly Hills, it was in order to improve the lot of everyone around me.

People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness; we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.

I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.

When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.

You can’t pray away global warming, and that’s the difference between religious people and sane people.

Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.

This nation is able to legislate for its own people on every question, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.

People who are in love suspect nothing or everything.
