“My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.”

“Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”

“But all at once I realized that it was not my success God had used to enable me to help those in this prison, or in hundreds of others just like it. My life of success was not what made this morning so glorious -- all my achievements meant nothing in God's economy."No, the real legacy of my life was my biggest failure -- that I was an ex-convict. My greatest humiliation -- being sent to prison -- was the beginning of God's greatest use of my life; He chose the one thing in which I could not glory for His glory.”

“I have had many successes and many failures in my life. My successes have always been for different reasons, but my failures have always been for the same reason: I said yes when I meant no.”

“I want to lay my kill at your feet.”

“I keep my feet candy-coated because I never know when one or both of them will wind up in my mouth.”
