“Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.”

Often we have no choice about doing things, but we can always choose how to do them.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.

I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Trouble is here. It is for a purpose. Use it for the purpose for which it was intended – to help you grow. Thank God for your troubles.

Begin where you are. Don’t wait for someone else to change things for you. Do it yourself.

To be successful is to be helpful, caring and constructive, to make everything and everyone you touch a little bit better.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities — always see them, for they’re always there.

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.

When you affirm big, believe big and pray big, big things happen.

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Help other people to cope with their problems, and your own will be easier to cope with.

The tests of life are not to break you but to make you.

Calmness will always produce solutions. No revolution ever began without a sharp exhale.

I didn’t even know about amateur boxing, period.

Every great general and warrior from the beginning of time was high.

Me personally, I come from very, very humble beginnings – little, small town in Alabama, you know, staying at my granddaddy house. We really didn’t have nothing.

From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.

From the beginning, I’ve had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say – and I’ve learnt that they’re meaningless, and they’re mostly inaccurate. So I don’t worry about it, because there’s nothin’ for me to deal with.

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.

It was probably in third grade – I had a super fake, gold herringbone chain. I don’t remember if it was my mom’s or how I got it, but ever since then, I’ve loved chains.
