“No matter what challenge you may be facing, you must remember that while the canvas of your life is painted with daily experiences, behaviors, reactions, and emotions, you’re the one controlling the brush. If I had known this at 21, I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and self-doubt.

And those who do are likely to be those with the most insular views of faith, or who cynically use religion to justify partisan ends.”
“You are who you are and what you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change who you are and what you are by changing what goes into your mind.”
“The truth may roar, but it's roaring does not terrify the blameless. Guilty conscience needs neither a critic nor an accuser. Remember, the truth has no aiding crutches; once it is limping, its name is "a lie'.”
