“A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.”

“All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.”

“He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty" - Lao-tsuOne who can control his thoughts has conquered himself.”

“God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up; rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.”

“You burn the paper, but not the words. You silence the words, but not the thoughts. You kill the thoughts only if you kill the man. And you will find that his thoughts rise again in the minds of others - twice as strong as before.”

“It is true that only a coward can be brave, as a man who feels no fear has conquered nothing.”
