“To yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be.”

“To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible.”

“The continual emotion that is felt in the theater excites us, enervates us, enfeebles us, and makes us less able to resist our passions. And the sterile interest taken in virtue serves only to satisfy our vanity without obliging us to practice it.”

“Our destiny is in the way we were born, in the way we were raised, in the sum of the three of us.”

“Our opinion of people depends less upon what we see in them, than upon what they make us see in ourselves”

“It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”
