“It's not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.”

“It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.”

“You can get a thousand no's from people, and only one "yes" from God.”

“I didn't have a catharsis for my childhood pain, most of us don't, and until I learned how to forgive those people and let it go, I was unhappy.”

“What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach. We have a responsibility as parents, older people, teachers, people in the neighborhood to recognize that.”

“You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.”

“I got 27 people livin in my head and all of them was about to beat the heck out of you for doin that..”
