“No, I am not afraid; the Lord said he would protect me, and I have full confidence in His word.”

A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge, for if he does not get knowledge, he will be brought into captivity by some evil power in the other world.

Love songs in particular are so compelling because love is probably the strongest emotion you can have, and I think it’s relatable to absolutely everyone, whether it’s unrequited love or love.

Love as hard as you can, at all times.

If you’re seeking progress, all presidents are the opposition. You’re just fighting different kinds of battles.

My album focuses on unrequited love quite a lot because I don’t think it’s spoken about enough in music. I’ve been through it myself and I found it hard to find songs that were about that, so I’ve definitely tried to make that a part of my album.

Everyone has sadness-I just get mine out in my music so that I can laugh and joke and flirt with you!

If to be old is not to be wise, then it is simply to be obsolete.

A news conference is a device by which the establishment keeps large numbers of reporters from covering the news every place else.

There were a lot of people who were willing to write a letter for me. Not because I was academically inclined, but because I worked hard.

I want to be rich in all the foods I’ve tasted and all the places I’ve been and all the people I’ve kissed.

No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do.

One-hundred percent, even now I doubt myself. I don’t understand what people hear in my voice. I can’t hear it myself, if you know what I mean.

To control and enslave the minds of men, all one must do is convince them that a secret exists, and that he is privy to information regarding that secret; hence the power of priests and psychics.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.

In the Lonely Hour is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back. I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn’t felt love before.

I’ve actually tasted the beer; it’s quite nice. It’s called Samuel Smith, which is my actual name. It’s good beer. Maybe that’s my favorite.

Surround yourself with people who aren’t afraid to give their opinions but aren’t afraid to chase your goals with you.

If you are afraid to fail, you will afraid to try, and it is far better to try and fail than refuse to try.

You might be afraid of being alone now. But soon you will be afraid of having the wrong people as company.

Don’t be afraid to learn from others mistakes, and take bits of useful information or ideas that help you get better at what you do.

Your wings already exist all you have to do is fly. Don’t be afraid to spread your wings.

I’ll do things that maybe other people would be afraid to do or afraid to say. But in my personal life, I’m actually very responsible with my personal relationships.

Learn to laugh at your failures, smile at your wins and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.

I am more afraid of our own mistakes than of our enemies’ designs.
