“All I ask is that you do your work to the best of your abilities, and with good heart.”
“Insanity is coasting through life in a miserable existence when you have a caged lion locked inside and the key to release it.”
"It's a choice that each of us must face - to remain ordinary, pathetic, beat-down, coasting through a miserable existence, like sheep herded by fate, or you can take control of your own destiny and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside."

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
“Sometimes you don't know you've crossed a line until you're already on the other side.”
“There is a story about the Greek gods. They were bored, so they invented human beings, but they were still bored, so they invented love. Then they weren't bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter, so they could stand it.”
“Sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back. But step back too far and you ain’t fighting at all.”
“God is just an imaginary friend for grown ups.”
