“No matter how many people celebrate your gifts, don’t ever think that you are more important to them than your gift is to them. This is why many people fail: They fail because they think that people came to follow them.”

Most people die at age 25 and are buried at age 65.

Let me define prayer for you in this show. Prayer is man giving God permission or license to interfere in earth’s affairs. In other words, prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference.

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.

Choose to celebrate your dead ends as much as you celebrate your turning points.

I don’t celebrate really crazy.

What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.

The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa – slightly off balance.

Everyone is different: different shapes, sizes, colors, beliefs, personalities, and you have to celebrate those differences.

Celebrate what God has given others. Leverage what God has given you.

The mouthier I got, the more I’d be celebrated.

Be not lax in celebrating. Be not lazy in the festive service of God. Be ablaze with enthusiasm. Let us be an alive, burning offering before the altar of God.
