“The shortest distance to leadership is service.”

It’s safer to do nothing and know why you doing it, than to do something and don’t know why you do it.

No one came to earth empty; everybody came with a contribution to make to their generation. Most of them never find that gift and even more die never releasing it.

You are capable of much more than you are presently thinking, imagining, doing or being.

Purpose is when you know and understand what you were born to accomplish. Vision is when you see it in your mind and begin to imagine it

Your existence is evidence that this generation needs something that your life contains.

We were placed on earth to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose is what gives meaning to our lives, you were sent to the world to make an impact and make a difference.

The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live. And most people are concerned about growing old rather than being effective.

Your faith is only as strong as the test it survives.

The people who have impacted the world didn’t live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.

Attitude creates your world and designs your destiny.

Your future is not ahead of you, it’s trapped within you.

I discovered that success has very little to do with education or race or disposition; it has more to do with principles and following those principles.

Whatever you compromise to gain, you will lose.

The greatest failure in life is being successful in the wrong assignment.

Failure is not the absence of success. Failure is the neglect of trying.

You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out

You were always miles away. Maybe you were just always meant to be miles away. The distance saw us together in a dream and thought we were better off without all the mess.

No matter where my life takes me or yours takes you, I will love you whether there are a thousand miles between us or none at all.

In truth, I am nothing but a plodding mediocrity – please observe, a plodding mediocrity – for a mere mediocrity does not go very far, but a plodding one gets quite a distance. There is joy in that success, and a distinction can come from courage, fidelity and industry.

Freedom is nothing but the distance between the hunter and the hunted.

I’d like the songs to be more storytelling, but also have the turns of phrase within them that would hopefully distance my writing from the pack.

One minute we can be in a small club, the next minute we can be in a coliseum, and the next minute we can be in a small auditorium. It varies, depending on the promoter, the budget, and the travelling distance.

The man-at-arms is the only man.

Distance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal; if you believe, we shall never part.
