“Success is loving life and daring to live it.”

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Nothing will work unless you do.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.

Don’t let the man bring you down.

Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.

Talent is like electricity. We don’t understand electricity. We use it.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

Listening is a form of spiritual hospitality by which you invite strangers to become friends, to get to know their inner selves more fully, and even to dare to be silent with you.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

We must have the daring to be nothing but ourselves if we are to know what true power is.

Don’t you dare die on me, Bob! I’ll freakin’ kill you if you die!

I dare you to watch this and not be changed.

Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.

At all times, Dare to be!
