“It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.”

“Our past may explain why we're suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.”

“Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. You're not going to enjoy your future, and you're not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.”

“No matter how much we know in any area there are always new things to learn and things we have previously learned that we need to be refreshed in.”

“Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.”

“When we face our fears, we can find our freedom.”

“It is amazing the quality of human beings that are in this world if we can just get past people not dressing the way we want them to dress.”
