“If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.”

“Do not wait and hope to be discovered...make yourself so you cannot be denied!”

“John Bunyan, author of the classic book the Pilgrim’s Progress, said “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who cannot pay you back.” Make a decision that you will live to give. Be on the lookout each day for somebody you can bless. Don’t’ live for yourself; learn to give yourself away, and your life will make a difference.”

“Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear.”

“Anytime you can learn for yourself, experience for yourself, apprehend directly and with no intermediary, you must do so.”

“The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake-- you can't learn anything from being perfect.”
