One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.

Some of the most beautiful things worth having in your life come wrapped in a crown of thorns.

Accomplishments don’t erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past.

The best kind of happiness is a habit you're passionate about.

True confidence is not about what you take from someone to restore yourself, but what you give back to your critics because they need it more than you do.

In the end, you will not see the physical beauty in others that caught your eye, but the fire that burned within them. This kind of beauty is the bonfire you had to attend.

Seek a man that doesn't ask you to prove your love. Seek a man that will prove God's love.

A friend is not the shadow that mimics you, but the one who casts all shadows away.

It is the apathetic person that sees the cause while the charitable person sees the need.
