“I'm not against the corporations. They are our wealth. But they are getting too greedy. I don't want to do away with corporations. I want them to make our cars, however, not our laws.”

Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.”

“Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them allBut lend me your heart and I'll just let you fallLend me your eyes I can change what you seeBut your soul you must keep, totally free”

“But even though disciplining yourself is sometimes diffcult and involves struggle, self-discipline is not self-punishment. It is instead an attempt to do what, prompted by the Spirit, you actually want in your heart to do.”
