Acquiring knowledge doesn't bring power into your life, until you apply what you have learned.

Tough love and brutal truth from strangers are far more valuable than Band-Aids and half-truths from invested friends, who don’t want to see you suffer any more than you have.

You can find anyone that will tell you what you want to hear, but the only one worth valuing is the one that tells you what you need to learn.

If there was any great lesson in life it was this: No battle was ever won with silence.

Your actions will always be what the world sees, but people who choose to see through God's eyes will always have the compassion to understand why.

You can't always expect people to apply your wisdom when they didn't use wisdom before they found themselves knee deep in their version of justice.

Intelligence is not expecting people to understand what your intent is; it is anticipating how it will be perceived.

Shame without repentance doesn’t lose power when it is spoken, it only seeks approval.

The only side God chooses is one of commonsense. If it doesn’t make sense; it is not God.
