“The mind is your guard, the heart is your maid and the soul is your territory. Nobody else but you should have the control of these.”

“Your heart is who you are, all else follows. Guard your heart, Thomas. Guard your heart.”

“Above all else, guard your heart for it affects everything else you do.”

“You have two choices, to control your mind or to let your mind control you.”

“You have to teach your heart and mind how to sing together... then you'll hear the sound of your soul”

“I know that if I said today, "How many of you would like to have me pray for you to have self control?" I could stay here and pray for people to have self control until midnight tonight. How many of you would stay if I would just lay hands on you and pray for you to have self control? Well, you know what, it would be a waste of time! Because, you are not going to have self control because somebody prays for you to have self control. You aready have self control. It is in you as a fruit of the spirit, but it's a little teeny tiny little seed. And, nobody else can develop your fruit of the spirit. Nobody can develop your peace but you. Nobody can develop your joy but you. Nobody can develop your patience butyou. Nobody can develop your discipline and self control but you.”
